State-level Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors for Electricity Generation, Updated
To assist reporters in estimating emissions and emission reductions, EIA has made available in the instructions to Forms EIA-1605 and EIA-1605EZ emission coefficients for most commonly used fossil fuels and electricity. These coefficients were based on 1992 emissions and generation data. In 1999, updated coefficients were prepared based on the most recent data (1998) then available; however, the updated coefficients were not included in the instructions for the 1999 data year. This year, they have been updated again, but based on three years worth of data (1997, 1998, and 1999) rather than a single year.

Electric Utility Phase I Acid Rain Compliance Strategies for the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
The Acid Rain Program is divided into two time periods; Phase I, from 1995 through 1999, and Phase II, starting in 2000.
