What is the purpose of the Power Integrated Resource Plan (PIRP)?

The purpose of the Power Integrated Resource Plan (PIRP) is to outline strategies for meeting future energy needs. This plan is essential in ensuring that a utility has a clear and comprehensive approach toward balancing energy supply, demand, and sustainability over the long term. By analyzing various scenarios, including changes in population, technology, and environmental factors, the PIRP helps utilities identify the most effective ways to generate, procure, and deliver energy resources. This forward-thinking strategy enables utilities like LADWP to make informed decisions that support reliability, affordability, and sustainability in their energy portfolios, ensuring they can meet the anticipated demands of their communities effectively.
