The California ISO has published the Greenhouse Gas (GHG): Accounting and Reporting Issue Paper as part of the Greenhouse Gas Coordination working group. The issue paper discusses the attributes of an out of market accounting and reporting approach to tracking GHG emissions and supporting utilities seeking to meet non-price based climate policies of states across the West based on discussions to date in the working group. 

The Issue Paper will be discussed during the upcoming virtual meeting on January 21. The working group meeting will also focus on the GHG counterfactual market pass, and continue discussion of examples based on feedback from prior meetings. The issue paper, agenda, and other working group materials will be available prior to the meeting on the GHG Coordination webpage.
