Policy Opportunities for Achieving Maryland’s Clean Energy Goals Dallas Burtraw, Karen Palmer, and Nicholas Roy Working Paper 25-09 March 2025 Resources for the Future i About the Authors Dallas Burtraw has worked to promote efficient control of air pollution and written extensively on electricity industry regulation and environmental outcomes. Burtraw’s current research includes analysis of the distributional and regional consequences of climate policy, the evolution of electricity markets including renewable integration, and the interaction of climate policy with electricity markets. He has provided technical support in the design of carbon dioxide emissions trading programs in the Northeast states, California, and the European Union. He also has studied regulation of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide under the Clean Air Act and conducted integrated assessment of costs, and modeled health and ecosystem effects and valuation, including ecosystem improvement in the Adirondack Park and the southern Appalachian region. Burtraw currently serves on California’s Independent Emissions Market Advisory Committee. Karen Palmer is a senior fellow at Resources for the Future (RFF) and an expert on the economics of environmental, climate and public utility regulation of the electric power sector. Her work seeks to improve the design of environmental and technology regulations in the sector and the development of new institutions to help guide the ongoing transition of the electricity sector. To these ends, she explores climate policy design, analyzes efficient ways to promote use of renewable and other clean sources of electricity, and investigates new market designs, new approaches to electricity pricing and regulatory reforms to pave the way for long-term decarbonization of electricity supply and electrification of the energy economy. Nicholas Roy is a research associate at RFF working on US national and state energy policy. At the federal level, Roy utilized the Haiku simulation model to analyze the impacts of clean energy tax credits, renewable energy standards, and emissions pricing on the power sector. His analysis has informed the legislative negotiations for Build Back Better which ultimately resulted in the Inflation Reduction Act. At the subnational level, he has developed a model for evaluating market design mechanisms in emissions trading systems. This has informed Washington state and California’s regulatory agencies on how to improve market efficiency, equity, program revenues, and carbon dioxide removal incentives.
