Impact of Legislation on Electric Power Companies • Depending on caps, power companies may need to purchase additional emissions allowances • Costs for these may be passed on to consumers • Power companies will need to invest in CO 2 capture and storage technologies • Initial credits per ton of CO 2 captured not economically attractive, i. e. not enough to offset capture and storage investments • Net result – power company costs will increase • Who will pay for that? 7 Energy | Environment | National Security | Health | Critical Infrastructure © 2009 SAIC.

Data Centers are Also a Target of Recent Policy • As data centers grow, their carbon footprints also grow • If data centers don’t keep up with the annual decrease in emissions allowances, they will pay the price by purchasing additional allowances • If power comes from a coal-fired power plant the cost will be higher • Closer monitoring of power usage is only part of the solution • E. O. 13514 specifically calls out Data Centers as an area for attention 9 Energy | Environment | National Security | Health | Critical Infrastructure © 2009 SAIC. All rights reserved.
