Resource Planning Advisory Group

PSE has convened a Resource Planning Advisory Group (RPAG) to provide expert technical input to support PSE’s energy resource planning. This group will meet regularly in addition to the public meetings that are already occurring to support the 2025 IRP. The final RPAG charter with additional details on the RPAG purpose is available here.

Members of the public are invited to observe RPAG meetings and each meeting will include an opportunity for public comment. Interested parties may also submit written comments prior to or within one week of each meeting. All public comments will be compiled, and a summary of comments will be shared with RPAG members after the comment period ends.

Resource Planning Advisory Group Members for the 2025 IRP are listed below. A detailed memo describing the application review process and selection methodology is available here.

Public Engagement

Puget Sound Energy has launched an enhanced engagement approach for the 2025 IRP cycle building on the success of other PSE processes like the Equity Advisory Group (EAG). Through this enhanced process we aim to create more and better spaces for meaningful, equitable engagement in our resource planning process. We are continuing to utilize the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) framework to guide how we structure effective public engagement. PSE will communicate clearly with interested parties how their feedback may influence components of key inputs, assumptions, and decisions throughout the process in accordance with the IAP2 spectrum of public participation, shown here. For addition information on PSE’s enhanced engagement approach, please visit our Current IRP Process page.
