Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP") Clause Samples
Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP"). As part of its triennial IRP compliance filing in 2020, Ameren Missouri will analyze demand-side resources included within alternative resource plans (including all performance metrics) both in its traditional manner and with "dynamically optimized portfolios." Such portfolios will be based on logical groupings of measures and the associated adoption curves from the potential study. The dynamically optimized portfolios will be built from the bottom up, based on capacity shortfall and needs to add enough demand-side resources to meet capacity needs using a timeline consistent with adoption curves from an updated potential study that includes new primary research. Also through its 2020 IRP, the Company will perform additional analyses to support its avoided transmission and distribution estimates that will be utilized in its next cycle MEEIA programs.
Integrated Resource Plan ("IRP"). We file a full IRP with Oregon and Washington bi-annually and file updates between filings. Our last full IRPs were filed in 2016, and we received a letter of compliance from the WUTC in December of 2016 and acknowledgment by the OPUC in February of 2017. The IRP included analysis of different growth scenarios and corresponding resource acquisition strategies. The analysis is needed to develop supply and demand resource requirements, consider uncertainties in the planning process, and establish a plan for providing reliable and low cost natural gas service. We anticipate filing our next full IRP in 2018.
