Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XVIII. Public Health § 224.20-144.Bases for carbon dioxide emission reduction performance standards for existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units

(1) Consumer impacts, including any disproportionate energy price increases on lower-income populations;

(2) Unreasonable costs of reducing emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from the age, location, or basic process design of the electric generating unit;

(3) Physical difficulties with or the impossibility of implementing emission reduction measures for carbon dioxide;

(4) The absolute cost of applying the performance standard to the electric generating unit;

(5) The expected remaining useful life of the electric generating unit;

(6) The economic impacts of closing the electric generating unit, including expected job losses, if the unit is unable to comply with the performance standard; and

(7) Any other factors specific to the electric generating unit that make application of a less stringent performance standard or longer compliance schedule more reasonable.
