AI summary This section discusses modeling scenarios executed by Synapse Energy Economics, Inc. for two coal plant retirement path bookends, analyzing build paths, resource use, and costs associated with a gradual retirement of five units over eight years. These scenarios provide a range of costs for a more aggressive coal plant retirement policy, considering uncertainties in carbon emissions policy and other factors.

AI summary The report discusses emissions results from the LT capacity expansion solution and ST production cost model. It indicates that emissions constraints are respected in the LT solution but not in the ST model, with plans to refine constraints for future modeling. The main findings are not expected to change significantly with more exact criteria.
