How will the IRP modeling deal with potential risks associated with the availability of imports?

As stated in Appendix 2D of the Company's 2025 IRP Update [https://www.dominionenergy.com/about/our-company/irp], the Company’s PLEXOS modeling uses lower capacity and energy import limits than those found in the transmission import studies to help ensure energy independence and self-sufficiency for the Company’s customers. 

Other Stakeholder Questions and Answers

• Will there be any externally imposed constraints on the amounts of MW that annually can be selected by the model for certain generation resources (e.g., solar, storage)?
• Does the IRP make any assumptions about a global human population reduction in future years? How would this affect current planning, short term planning, and long term planning?
