Description (excerpt):
This Report discusses some of the policy design issues that the Draft Memo raises and presents a
range of illustrative estimates of the potential direct cost of implementing a program of mandated
purchases to prevent or deter coal and nuclear retirements. In this preliminary analysis, we do
not assess the extent of likely negative impact on competitive markets nor address the
magnitude, if any, of potential benefits.
