RGGI was designed through a transparent five-year process that included active engagement with stakeholders, technical experts, and the public. The public comments received by RGGI are available through the links below.
RGGI received specific comments on auction design, the Model Rule, and emissions leakage.
In March 2007, the New York Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), on behalf of RGGI states, engaged a research team led by the University of Virginia and Resources for the Future (RFF) to evaluate regional auction design options and make recommendations to the Staff Working Group and Agency Heads for the specifications of a regional RGGI allowance auction.
The Model Rule is a set of proposed regulations that form the basis for each RGGI state's CO2 Budget Trading Program. Since its original design, the Model Rule has been periodically revised.
