| Critical Information | New Hampshire's Clean Power Act regulates emissions of CO2, SO2, NOx, and requires a cap to be set for mercury emissions from fossil fuel fired plants owned by the Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH). The act became effective on July 1, 2002 and targets must be met beginning in 2007. The state's Department of Environmental Services (DES) oversees this legislation. The Clean Power Act works as a "cap and trade" program. Affected units are allowed to purchase emissions credits through a national, regional, or other trading program. The legislation also provides incentives for energy efficiency. Emission allowances are allocated to PSNH for investment in energy efficiency, renewable projects, or other energy saving measures. Allocations are distributed based on electrical output. |
