Abstract
This Integrated Resource Plan presents a long-term forecast of the lowest reasonable cost combination of resources necessary to meet the needs of Springfield Utility Board’s (SUB) customers. The Plan evaluates SUB’s electric resource portfolio based on a very dynamic power-supply marketplace and integrates these options with forecasted energy demands of customers expected to be served by SUB over the next several years. The purpose is aimed at finding the resource portfolio with the best combination of cost and risk for customers. It provides balance between the least expensive power-supply portfolio and the most desirable way to meet all customers’ energy needs. Both supply- and demand-side resources were evaluated, including a review of the potential benefits, costs, and risks, along with political and environmental considerations. The Plan expands the focus from specific electric rates to including information about monthly energy bills and customer comfort.
