Description:
Power plan addresses the risks that uncertainties (about the direction and form of climate change policy, future fuel prices, salmon recovery actions, economic growth, and integrating rapidly growing amounts of variable wind generation) pose for the region’s electricity future and seeks an electrical resource strategy that minimizes the expected cost of, and risks to the regional power system over the next 20 years. Across multiple scenarios considered in the development of the plan, one conclusion was constant: the most cost-effective and least risky resource for the region is improved efficiency of electricity use.
