Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated resource planning (IRP) is an approach to utility resource planning that integrates the evaluation of supply- and demand-site options for providing energy services at the least cost. Many utilities practice IRP; however, most studies about IRP focus on investor-owned utilities (IOUs). This scoping study investigates the IRP activities and needs of public utilities (not-for-profit utilities, including federal, state, municipal, and cooperative utilities). This study (1) profiles IRP-related characteristics of the public utility sector, (2) articulates the needs of public utilities in understanding and implementing IRP, and (3) identifies strategies to advance IRP principles in public utility planning.

Download or read book Guidelines for Implementing an Effective Integrated Resource Planning Process written by Inc. Vista Consulting Group and published by Amer Water Works Assn. This book was released on 1997 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents six case studies of water utilities which have implemented some form of IRP process to illustrate the successes and problems encountered. Chapter 1 of this report introduces the concept of IRP (Integrated Resource Planning) and compares the IRP approach with traditional and least-cost planning approaches. Chapter 2 defines the key terms used throughout the manual and discusses the history of IRP in the energy industry (electric and gas utilities). It addresses the need for IRP in the water industry and sets forth the fundamentals or components of the IRP process. Chapter 3 presents a summary of the water resource management and planning processes of all the water utility participants on this projects. It also provides detailed discussions of the lessons learned from the six case study utilities and the strengths and weaknesses of their approaches. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority case study was conducted through on-site interviews. The remaining five case studies were conducted through telephone interviews and through a written survey designed by the research team. Chapter 4 synthesizes the information from the previous chapter and discusses strategies and opportunities for achieving success, with a detailed discussion on how to utilize stakeholders effectively. Chapter 5 introduces step-by-step guidelines toward implementing an effective IRP process. Chapter 6 contains insights and detailed discussions on how to calculate avoided costs, how to include externalities in the planning process, and how to conduct cost-benefits analyses of all the planning alternatives being considered. Two appendices follow Chapter 6. Appendix A contains the detailed case studies of the six water utilities. Appendix B contains the actual survey used by the research team to develop the case studies. Finally, the report concludes with a list of references cited in the text and two bibliographies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-seventies, electric utilities were faced with escalating construction costs, growing environmental plus siting constraints and increasing uncertainty in demand forecasting. To cope with the increasing demand for energy services, utilities can either invest in supply-side options (new generation, transmission and distribution facilities) or in demand-side options. Demand-side options include, policies, programmes, innovative pricing schemes and high-efficiency end-use equipment (equipment providing the same or better level of services but using less energy or peak power). Recent experience in both North America and Europe show that demand-side options are usually cheaper and less damaging from the environmental point of view, and also their potential can be tapped in a shorter term than other supply-side options. This workshop was directed at the discussion and analysis of cost-effective methodologies to achieve the supply of electric energy services at minimum cost and minimum environmental impact. The programme included new developments in power planning models which can integrate both supply-side and demand-side actions. Quantitative assessments of the environmental impact of different supply-demand strategies were analyzed. Planning models which deal with uncertainty and use multicriteria approaches were presented. Case studies and experiments with, innovative concepts carried out by utilities in several countries were discussed. Load modelling and evaluation of demad-side programmes was analyzed. Additionally, the potential for electricity savings in the industrial, commercial and residential sectors was presented. New research directions covering planning models, programmes and end-use technologies were identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Department of Energy Integrated Resource Planning Program supports many activities and projects that enhance the process by which utilities assess demand and supply options and, subsequently, evaluate and select resources. The US Department of Energy program coordinates integrated resource planning in risk and regulatory analysis; utility and regional planning; evaluation and verification; information transfer/technological assistance; and demand-side management. Professional staff from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest Laboratories collaborate with peers and stakeholders, in particular, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, and conduct research and activities for the US Department of Energy. Twelve integrated resource planning activities and projects are summarized in this report. The summaries reflect the diversity of planning and research activities supported by the Department. The summaries also reflect the high levels of collaboration and teaming that are required by the Program and practiced by the researchers. It is concluded that the Program is achieving its objectives by encouraging innovation and improving planning and decision making. Furthermore, as the Department continues to implement planned improvements in the Program, the Department is effectively positioned to attain its ambitious goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As global energy systems electrify, long-term planning processes are evolving to allow flexible economic analysis and acknowledge rapid financial and operational transformation. State-level integrated resource planning (IRP) processes allow oversight of long-term electric utility resource planning. Yet, outdated rules, procedures, and practices may impede utilities in planning for a new energy future. Is the IRP process constrained by technical modeling decisions, when it ought to serve as a platform for stakeholders to shape optimal and just electricity system outcomes? This paper assesses the state of integrated resource planning to inform utility planners, commissioners, and their staffs, along with the array of advocates that participate in such proceedings. I employ a case study methodology to assess docket filings and other relevant materials in recent IRP proceedings for four major utilities in Michigan, Georgia, New Mexico, and North Carolina. Section 3 details modeling software selection and use for those four cases. Section 4 uses capacity value assumptions to illuminate the iterative process around establishing model input assumptions. Section 5 takes a broader view of nascent efforts to include equity and justice into IRP processes. Consistent commission oversight and robust stakeholder processes are integral to ensure that utilities' integrated resource plans reflect the pace of change in the U.S. energy sector. Policymakers can encourage advanced modeling methodologies (software, settings, and assumptions) through three channels: (1) written IRP rules, (2) commission procedure, and (3) intervention in utility processes. Furthermore, as equity and justice come to the forefront of utility planning, policymakers should consider intervenor compensation programs, energy justice assessments, and forms of public ownership to incorporate energy justice principles into the planning process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "ecosystem approach" to natural resource planning and management -- an approach that focuses on preserving the integrity of entire natural systems -- is becoming widely recognized as the key to large-scale environmental health.The 1978 Water Quality Agreement between the United States and Canada provided the catalyst for implementing ecosystem planning and management in the Great Lakes basin. No longer constrained by arbitrary political boundaries, decision makers could focus their attention at the ecosystem level, with the health of the watershed as their main concern.In this volume, Susan Hill MacKenzie uses three in-depth case studies to explore the institutional prerequisites to the creation and implementation of ecosystem-based management plans in the context of Great Lakes water resources. The book provides: a description of the foundations and historical roots of the ecosystem approach to water resource planning and management an assessment of the degree to which the goals of ecosystem management have been achieved a comparative analysis and assessment of the planning and implementation processes an overview of changes in the institutional structure of agencies in the Great Lakes region a prognosis for integrated resource management using the tenets of the ecosystem approach This study presents important information for resource managers and policymakers at the state and national levels as well as academic and research communities involved with environmental policy and the management of natural resources.

Book excerpt: Many utilities and nonutility parties (NUPs) across the country have tried a new approach to reaching agreement on Demand-Side Management (DSM) program design and policy issues. Through this, which is called the DSM collaborative process, parties who have often been adversaries in the past attempt to reach consensus rather than using traditional litigation to resolve differences. We examined nine cases of DSM collaboration involving 24 utilities and approximately 50 NUPs in 10 states. This is the first comprehensive, in-depth review and assessment of collaboratives and it allows conclusions to be drawn about the collaborative process and the factors that contribute to successful efforts of this type. Collaboratives are described in terms of four major contextual and organizational characteristics: regulatory and legal history, parties involved and parties excluded, collaborative scope, and the collaborative process itself.
