Integrated Resource Plan

As the industry moves toward net zero emissions, providers are challenged with assessing future electric needs and creating a road map that balances supply and demand with reasonable, actionable steps. Exacerbating the challenge is rapidly evolving technology — along with regulatory shifts.

HOW WE HELP

We know you need a steady, seasoned partner to help create an integrated resource plan (IRP) aimed at providing reliable and cost-effective electric service for your customers. We also know these plans are created with significant public involvement from utility commissions, state agencies, advocacy groups and other key stakeholders. That’s why we help:

• Navigate utility needs within the broader landscape, helping you make decisions that are sound and specific to your community.
• Develop a comprehensive data analysis with stakeholder input.
• Identify investments that make sense for each specific situation, from modernizing transmission to upgrading storage.
