Seattle City Light Integrated Resource Plan
"The Committee has received the 2008 Integrated Resource Plan from Seattle City Light. There will be a briefing, discussion and a possible vote on the Resolution.
The Integrated Resource Plan is a fluid document that is updated every two years in order to account for the uncertain nature of future energy market prices, resource availability, demand growth, changes in technology, regulation, and City policy initiatives. The intent of the IRP is to achieve a balance of low costs, low risk, and low environmental impacts.
The Plan has been developed to be compliant with I937 and the recommended resource strategy is a continuation of the utility’s policy of obtaining low cost power for customers with low environmental impact, while making the most of existing resources. Conservation is the first choice resource, followed by seasonal exchanges that help shape resources to load."
