State Planning and Incentive Structures
Lead By Example—Energy Efficiency in Public Facilities
Status: Completed
Details: Statute (CSR 140-7) requires that all leased and state-owned buildings conform to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard- ASHRAE 90.1, Energy Efficient Design of New Buildings Except Low Rise Residential Buildings.
Lead By Example—Energy Efficient Appliance and Equipment Purchase Requirements for Public Facilities
Status: No Activity Identified
Lead By Example—Clean Energy Goals for Public Facilities
Status: No Activity Identified
Lead By Example—Energy Efficiency and Alternative Fuel Goals for Public Fleets
Status: Completed
Details: Statute (RSMo 414.365) required that by July 1, 2004, at least 50% and by July 1, 2005, at least 75% of Department of Transportation vehicle fleet and heavy equipment that use diesel fuel be fueled with B20 or higher biodiesel blends, if such fuel is commercially available. Statute (RSMo 414.400 and 410) requires that any state agency operating a fleet of more than 15 motor vehicles must ensure that 50% of new vehicles acquired by the fleet are capable of running on alternative fuels. Excess acquisitions of alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) may be credited towards future biennial goals. If a state agency fails to meet a biennial acquisition goal, purchases of any non-AFVs are not permitted until the goals are met or an exemption or goal reduction has been granted. In addition, 30% of the fuel purchased annually for use in state fleet vehicles must be alternative fuel.
State and Regional Energy Planning
Status: Completed
Details: The MO Energy Policy Council was established in 2003 by Exec. Order 3-10. The Energy Policy Council includes representatives from state agencies, industry (energy companies and large energy users), agriculture, local govt. representatives, a school district representative, and environmental and consumer advocates. As a state policy body, they consider major aspects of energy policy, energy supplies, and energy prices; consumer protections, including consumer education, universal access, low-income assistance funding and the impact of regulatory changes; new energy technologies and trends; opportunities to increase energy efficiency; and opportunities to increase the use of clean energy and improve MO's economy and environment. The Council prepared a 2003 report that described MO's current and future energy supply/demand, gave recommendations on how the state could demonstrate leadership in energy efficiency, and analyzed the impact of the contemporary Standard Market Design rules.

Determining the Air Quality Benefits of Clean Energy—Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy Set Asides (NOX Budget Trading Program)
Status: Completed
Details: MO's NOx set-aside program accounts for 1% of state NOx trading program budget, or 134 tons. Energy efficient and renewable energy projects are eligible, including: solar, wind and landfill gas, digester gas, burning biomass alone or co-fired with coal, and combined heat and power projects. To be eligible, a project must have started operation after September 1, 2005, and reductions must be at least one ton during the period from May 1 to September 30, though smaller projects may be aggregated.
Determining the Air Quality Benefits of Clean Energy—Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy Set Asides (CAIR Budget Trading Program)
Status: Completed
Details: MO used a stakeholder process to create their set-aside programs for both the NOX SIP Call and CAIR. This process resulted in energy efficiency/renewable energy set-asides that were acceptable to utilities. The initial allocation to the energy efficiency/renewable energy set-aside pool will be 1%, or 134 allowances, and will last until the CAIR trading program goes into effect. Under CAIR, the allowance pool will be 0.5%, or 300 allowances for a statewide annual program.

Energy Efficiency Actions
Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards
Status: Completed (with caveat)
Details: Missouri created a renewable energy and energy efficiency objective for the state's investor-owned utilities in June 2007. Each utility must make a "good-faith effort" to generate or procure electricity generated by eligible renewable-energy resources, so that by 2012, 4% of total retail electric sales is generated by eligible renewables. The goal increases to 8% by 2015, and to 11% by 2020. Credit towards the objective also may be achieved through energy efficiency that includes utility and consumer efforts to reduce the consumption of electricity.
Public Benefit Funds for Energy Efficiency
Status: No Activity Identified
Building Codes for Energy Efficiency—Commercial Programs
Status: No Activity Identified
Details: None statewide. State owned buildings must comply with ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-1989.
Building Codes for Energy Efficiency—Residential Programs
Status: No Activity Identified
Details: None statewide. State-owned single-family and multi-family residential buildings must comply with the latest edition of the MEC or ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.2-1993.
State Appliance Efficiency Standards
Status: No Activity Identified
Energy Supply Actions
Renewable Portfolio Standards
Status: Completed (with caveat)
Details: Governor Matt Blunt, on June 25, 2007, signed into law legislation encouraging, but not requiring, utilities to curb their use of fossil fuels over the next 13 years. The measure recommends that power companies use non-fossil fuel sources for 4% of produced electricity by 2012, a goal that doubles in 2015 and reaches 11% in 2020. Utilities can also earn credit towards the objective through energy efficiency measures that include utility and consumer efforts to reduce electricity consumption. Utilities not meeting those recommendations do not face any penalties, although state regulators can determine whether the companies tried hard enough.
Public Benefit Funds for Clean Energy Supply
Status: No Activity Identified
Output-Based Environmental Regulations
Status: Completed
Details: Missouri has output-based allocations under their NOx SIP Call for their energy efficiency/renewable energy set-aside. Energy efficiency projects receive allowances based on the number of kWh saved; zero-emitting technologies receive allowances based on electrical output; and combined heat and power systems receive allocations based on the difference between NOx emissions from the combined heat and power system and the NOx emissions that would have resulted from a business-as-usual equivalent.
Interconnection Standards—Clean Distributed Generation
Status: No Activity Identified
Details: In June 2007, SB 54 was enacted and in October 2008 a final rulemaking order was issued. The bill allows for renewable energy systems up to 100 kW to interconnect, but it only applies to net metered units. In August 2007, the Missouri Public Service Commission approved tariff changes made by the state's investor-owned utilities to bring them in compliance with the federal interconnection standard (Case # EO-2006-0497).

Interconnection Standards—Net Metering
Status: Completed
Details: Governor Matt Blunt, on June 25, 2007, signed into law legislation that requires utilities to grant consumers credits for power they generate themselves (i.e., net metering), such as with solar panels or biomass technology.
