City of Columbia Utilities is currently seeking feedback for use in preparing the next Electric Integrated Resource Plan; also known as the IRP. Feedback will be collected here through March 2.
The IRP a long-term strategic road map for Utilities. The IRP helps detail how utilities will meet future energy demand costs effectively while also balancing supply and demand resources. Those resources include reliability, environmental impact and customer needs. IRPs are typically done every five years. While the plans forecast for 20-years, they are revisited for relevance.
Three main topics are discussed in conjunction with this next IRP:
Electrical generation sources
Internal and external generation
Possible effects of expansion
With the help of gathered feedback, the staff will balance competing priorities as the department works with The Energy Authority to develop the IRP. The Energy Authority, or known as TEA, will be producing the final report, which will be available in the spring. Through partnership with TEA, utilities across the country benefit from an experienced organization that is singularly focused on deriving the maximum value of the utilities’ assets.
