Energy Resource Planning: PSE's Integrated Resource Plan

PSE's 2009 Integrated Resource Plan

More energy efficiency, more renewables and the balance met with clean burning natural gas

Puget Sound Energy serves more than half of the people who live in Washington state. Completed in July 2009, our latest Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) seeks to balance the growing energy needs of our dynamic region with concerns about the environmental impacts of electric power generation and natural gas supply acquisition. Further it seeks to assess the risks and costs of different alternatives and to weigh them against different ways the future may develop. Our goal is to identify the lowest reasonable cost resource strategy that will meet our customers' needs.
