This Web portal provides information and documentation on EPA's
application of the Integrated Planning Model (IPM) to analyze the impact
of air emissions policies on the U.S. electric power sector. EPA has
used multiple iterations of the IPM model in various analyses of
regulations and legislative proposals. Please use the links below to
find more modeling details specific to each analysis:

General Purpose of IPM Modeling

EPA uses the Integrated Planning Model (IPM) to analyze the projected
impact of environmental policies on the electric power sector in the 48
contiguous states and the District of Columbia. Developed by ICF
Consulting, Inc. and used to support public and private sector clients,
IPM is a multi-regional, dynamic, deterministic linear programming model
of the U.S. electric power sector. It provides forecasts of least-cost
capacity expansion, electricity dispatch, and emission control
strategies for meeting energy demand and environmental, transmission,
dispatch, and reliability constraints. IPM can be used to evaluate the
cost and emissions impacts of proposed policies to limit emissions of
sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2), and
mercury (Hg) from the electric power sector. The IPM was a key
analytical tool in developing the proposed Transport Rule.

Among the factors that make IPM particularly well suited to model
multi-emissions control programs are (1) its ability to capture complex
interactions among the electric power, fuel, and environmental markets;
(2) its detail-rich representation of emission control options
encompassing a broad array of retrofit technologies along with emission
reductions through fuel switching, changes in capacity mix and
electricity dispatch strategies; and (3) its capability to model a
variety of environmental market mechanisms, such as emissions caps,
allowances, trading, and banking. IPM's ability to capture the dynamics
of the allowance market and its provision of a wide range of emissions
reduction options are particularly important for assessing the impact of
multi-emissions environmental policies like the proposed Transport Rule.
