How will you be incorporating new legislation that reduces demand or increases ELCC, such as an expansion of DERs (balcony solar, distributed generation expansion, virtual power plants) and short and long duration storage expansion?

We are actively considering how to reflect them in IRP assumptions, modeling, analysis, and stakeholder engagement activities. This new legislation is a good example of how IRP requirements continue to grow and evolve.
