(Mon, 27 Jun 2016) This report, the third of five Issues in Focus articles from Annual Energy Outlook 2016, discusses the results of the Extended Policies case which includes selected policies that go beyond current laws and regulations. In the Extended Policies case, existing tax credits that have scheduled reductions and sunset dates are assumed to remain unchanged through 2040. Other efficiency policies, including corporate average fuel economy standards, appliance standards, and building codes, are expanded beyond current provisions; and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Clean Power Plan regulations that reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electric power generation are tightened after 2030.
