JOBS
The U.S. electric power industry supports more than 7 million jobs. This includes nearly 2.7 million jobs directly provided through electric power industry employees, contractors and supply chain, and investments, and an additional 4.4 million
induced jobs, including 445,000 public-sector jobs though tax revenue.
Each job directly provided by the industry supports an additional 1.7 jobs throughout U.S. communities.

EEI Tax Reform Principles
Maintain Interest Deductibility for Corporate Debt
Maintain Deductibility for State & Local Taxes
Maintain Tax Normalization and Address Excess Deferred Taxes
Keep Dividend Tax Rates Low and on Par with Capital Gains Tax Rates
Industry’s Tax Reform Priorities

Advocacy Messaging Utilities are uniquely regulated Utilities are the most capital-intensive industry Utility capital structure is about ½ debt, ½ equity Losing interest deductibility negatively impacts
customers
“We will not eliminate the interest deduction for small businesses, real estate purchases or utilities.” d

Low Natural Gas Prices DrivingFuel Switching
Increased coal to gas switching when the price of gas drops below the price of Central Appalachia coal. The ability to substitute between coal and gas units also moderates gas demand as well.

Electric Companies Use a Diverse Mix of Fuels to Generate Electricity
*Includes generation by agricultural waste, landfill gas recovery, municipal solid waste, wood, geothermal, non-wood waste, wind, and solar.
** Includes generation by tires, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, and miscellaneous technologies.
Sum of components may not add to 100% due to independent rounding.

U.S. Power Sector Carbon Dioxide Emissions Declining
1/3 of U.S. power generation comes from zero-emissions sources and another 1/3 from natural gas
Coal-to-gas fuel switching has been a key factor in driving down power sector emissions
As of 2016, industry CO2 emissions were nearly 25 percent below 2005 levels
Trajectory will continue based on current trends

The Value of Fuel Diversity: The January 2014 “Polar Vortex”
Fuel diversity helps to protect consumers from contingencies such as fuel unavailability and fuel price fluctuations
A variety of generation sources helped maintain reliability during the Polar Vortex
Image Source: NASA
Record storage withdrawals helped meet increased demand for natural gas.
Dual-fueled generators were able to rely on oil during times of gas pipeline constraints.
The nuclear fleet operated at 95% capacity at the height of the polar vortex. (NEI)
Coal plants, many currently slated for retirement, were employed to help meet demand.
Regional wind generation was strong, providing PJM with 3,500 MW while electricity prices averaged more than $500/MWh. (AWEA)

The Value of U.S. Power Supply Diversity
The study examines the risks to a diversified electricity portfolio and finds:
“[A] combination of factors—tightening environmental regulations, depressed wholesale power prices, and unpopular opinions of coal, oil, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants—is currently moving the United States down a path toward a significant reduction in power supply diversity.”
The study quantifies the impact of a reduced fuel and technology diversity profile in America’s electric sector, concluding:
Electricity supply in the reduced diversity case increases average wholesale power prices by about 75 percent and retail power prices by 25 percent
Electricity price impacts would reduce U.S. gross domestic product by nearly $200 billion
Price impacts would also lead to roughly one million fewer jobs
The typical household’s annual disposable income would decline by about $2,100

Technical Conference held May 1-2, 2017 to discuss how the competitive wholesale markets can select resources of interest to state policy makers while preserving the benefits of regional markets and economic resource selection. (Docket No. AD17-11-000)
Current market structure is not achieving outcomes desired by policymakers:• Concerns about reliance on gas• Concerns about loss of nuclear units • No recognition of environmental stewardship objectives
Questions raised:• Who is responsible for resource adequacy• Should the markets accommodate or achieve state policies
