Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)
PNGC Power’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process weighs various power supply options. To ensure that we meet our members’ energy needs in the future, PNGC Power has undertaken an IRP process. The goal is to evaluate and compare the relative costs, risks and benefits of likely resource supply alternatives available to our membership pool in 2011 and beyond.
PNGC’s goal is to find a balance between risk and cost in supplying reliable electricity. The extensive analysis included in our resource planning allows member utilities to have the necessary information for making critical decisions on future power supply options.
