| | Electric Integrated Resource Plan |
 | | An EIRP is a long-term strategic plan, which combines technical analysis and public participation, used for business development that also meets the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. |
 | | To arrive at the final plan, energy planners took a number of factors into consideration, which constantly change, such as cost, efficiency, legislative regulations, competition, customer preferences, the environment, and population are keys to a successful planning effort. |
 | | The EIRP provides a balanced and responsible plan that meets reliability requirements; is fiscally sound; promotes environmental stewardship; and balances risk and cost. |
