The RRC has issued a Notice of Intent to Develop the Integrated Resource Plan Preferred Portfolio, per the Product Development Rule (ER1).

The purpose of this working group is to develop the Preferred Portfolio, a report on candidate expansion plans for the IRP. The process will involve the characterization of the existing system, the characterization of candidate resource options for selection, and a development of various expansion plans for scenarios established by the IRP Objectives.

Working Group update meetings will be held throughout 2026 on a monthly basis as work is performed by the RRC. Then, as expansion plans are finalized, Working Group meetings will occur on a more frequent basis to give input on those plans.
