Electric and water utilities operate in a complex legal, regulatory and market environment, and must both plan for the future and adapt to changes today. For electric utilities, Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) are a powerful tool to determine the electric resources that will be needed to be procured in the future by:

  • understanding current customer demands and available resources
  • projecting customer demand by year, month, day, and hour
  • identifying opportunities to work with customers to help them control their energy usage

In 2023, TDPUD’s board awarded a contract to Aspen Environmental for their team of industry-leading experts to create TDPUD's first Integrated Resource Plan. This extensive project reviewed TDPUD’s current customer demand profiles, electric resource portfolio, opportunities to work with customers to reduce and/or shift demand during a given day, 100% clean energy requirements by 2045, and opportunities to procure electric resources such a wind, solar, geothermal, and energy storage. The IRP was presented to the TDPUD board on Feb. 7, 2024 as an informational workshop, and the questions and feedback from the board will be incorporated into a final TDPUD Integration Resource Plan, which will be brought back to the board for adoption at a future meeting.
