Assuring a bright future for our customers
As your energy provider, we know it's important to provide safe, reliable, low-cost power when and where you need it. We
also know that other factors are important in providing you energy including keeping costs down and balancing the needs of
the state and region, the environment and future generations.
That balance is our responsibility, and we take it seriously. We work with others in the region including regulatory commissions,
residential and consumer groups, energy experts, environmental agencies and others representing broad interests to ensure
that our actions meet that balance today and into the future. Together, we consider both the need for energy in the long-term
and the optimal mix of resources to best meet that need while keeping down your costs and exposure to risk.
We file an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) periodically with regulators to share our plans to meet the growing demand for electricity
from our customers. This plan is our road map. It contains a preferred portfolio of resource types and includes an action
plan for acquiring resources to meet the electricity needs of customers. Specific resources will be identified through a formal
request for proposals (RFP) process.
The 2007 IRP shows a need across Pacific Power and Rocky Mountain Power for more than 3,170 megawatts of capacity by 2016.
Pacific Power and Rocky Mountain Power developed the 2007 IRP taking into account the continuing market and regulatory changes
in our industry, particularly in the areas of renewable energy generation and carbon dioxide reduction policies.
