INVESTMENT COMPONENTS OF
ACES LEGISLATION
Investment is funded by proceeds of allowances for:
(1) Consumer Protection
(2) Energy Efficiency
(3) Transition to a Clean Energy Economy

Consumer Protection
• Protection from price increases in electricity, natural gas and
home heating oil (Initially 44% of auction proceeds, spread
rateably across consumer classes; declines over time…)
• Rebates to protect budgets of bottom quintile of earners Households with incomes of up to 150% of poverty line
• Protection for Energy-Intensive, Trade-Exposed Industries (15%
of emission proceeds)
• Protection for Domestic Energy Production (2% of auction
proceeds)
