Report summary
Wood Mackenzie's H2 2019 long-term outlook base case has an underlying assumption of federal long-term carbon policy, a flat US carbon tax of $2/short ton beginning in 2028 that increases to $26/short ton by 2040. However, this No Carbon Policy sensitivity assumes a future without any US federal carbon policy. Under this scenario, 30 GW of age-based coal retirements outside of those currently announced or deemed uneconomic by 2040 are removed. Renewable generation build will continue to increase but at a slower pace. Power demand for gas will be lower overall, but the story varies by region. Key questions addressed in the analysis: • How much gas demand in the power sector is lost to coal? • Will all regions see lower gas burn? • What is the effect of lower overall power burn on gas prices? • Which supply regions will be most affected?
