Integrated Resource Plan

RCW 19.280 mandates that Franklin PUD must develop a comprehensive Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) every four years, with a two-year update, to detail the mix of generation and demand-side resources it will use to meet customers’ long- and short-term electricity needs. The IRP analysis must include load forecasts, conservation assessments, supply-side resource evaluations, an economic appraisal of renewable and nonrenewable options, and a preferred action plan. The 2024 IRP aims to forecast future demand and identify an optimal, affordable, and reliable resource mix that meets both regulatory and social expectations.
