NYSERDA Adopts Amendments to RGGI Regulations After 2025 Program Review
Summary
NYSERDA adopted amendments to Part 507 to implement RGGI changes from the 2025 program review, including a proposal to lower the regional emissions cap and enhancements to cost-containment measures; the Board authorized publication of a Notice of Adoption (Resolution No. 1807).
Chief Policy Officer John Williams briefed Board members on proposed amendments to Part 507 of Title 21 implementing changes to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) following the 2025 program review.
Williams described RGGI as "the first mandatory, market-based carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction program in the United States" and explained that New York and other participating states proposed lowering the regional emissions cap and making additional changes "including enhancing cost containment measures." NYSERDA and the Department of Environmental Conservation jointly implement RGGI in New York; after considering public comments, NYSERDA adopted the text of the proposed rule and authorized publication of a Notice of Adoption under Resolution No. 1807.
The resolution authorized the President or designee to execute regulatory documents necessary to effectuate the rule amendments. The Board adopted the resolution by unanimous voice vote.
