SB 311 Electric utilities; resource planning.

Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Electric utility planning. Requires electric utilities to submit, by September 1, 2009, an integrated resource plan (IRP) that provides a forecast of their load obligations and a plan to meet those obligations by supply side and demand side resources over the ensuing 15 years to provide reasonable prices, reliable service, energy independence, and environmental responsibility. Updated IRPs will be filed every two years thereafter. The 2009 IRPs shall include an assessment of programs to assist low income residential consumers. The bill also deletes an inconsistent existing requirement that utilities file plans for their projected generation and transmission requirements to serve native load for the next 10 years. HB 1523 is identical.
