GETTING STARTED WITH EPS

This guide introduces the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS), a tool developed by Energy Innovation to model the impact of various energy policies on state-level carbon emissions, financial outcomes, and health impacts through 2050.

• The Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) allows users to model state energy systems in detail, utilizing 1.7 million equations per year to calculate the effects of various policy combinations on CO2e emissions, health impacts, and financial outcomes through 2050.
• The simulator provides several baseline and pre-designed scenarios, including a 'Frozen Policies' baseline reflecting U.S. energy policy as of January 2025, an 'NDC Scenario' for ambitious decarbonization, and a 'Federal Policy Repeal and Rollback' scenario aligned with the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' and proposed EPA rule repeals.
• Users can customize specific policy implementations, such as setting a Clean Electricity Standard (CES) to 100 percent carbon-free sources by 2050 or adjusting the implementation schedule for Building Component Electrification to accelerate the phase-in of heating electrification by 2035.
