Additionally, this measure describes the process for the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve 100% clean energy by 2050. The measure describes the requirements of a greenhouse gas emission reduction plan and a carbon reduction plan.\n\nThis measure states beginning on June 1, 2022, the director of environmental protection will charge the owner of a fossil fuel generating plant an energy community reinvestment fee. The director will calculate the fee by dividing a plant's total emissions of carbon dioxide equivalents by the total emissions of carbon dioxide equivalents of all fossil fuel generating plants then multiplying that amount by a portion of the annual revenue requirements. The projected annual revenue required for any program year must be at least $100,000,000 per year. The owner must pay this fee within 30 days after the close of each payment period. If the owner does not pay the fee within 90 days, then the director can suspend or revoke the plant's Title V permit. (p. 57-60)The measure states the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency must establish the following goals for the state: a 26% reduction in statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 2025; a 50% reduction in statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 2030; and a 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In order to achieve these reductions, the director will adopt rules that will provide for the ongoing tracking of greenhouse gas emission sources statewide, especially in disproportionately impacted communities. In adopting these rules, the director will consider the opportunities to incentivize renewable energy resources. An electric cooperative or a municipal electric utility can submit a voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction plan. The plan must demonstrate that the cooperative or utility can achieve a at least a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, relative to 2005 levels by 2030.
