Power Planning

The Council develops a plan, updated every five years, to ensure the region’s power supply and acquire cost-effective energy efficiency. The process relies on broad public participation to inform the plan and build consensus on its recommendations.

  • The 7th Power Plan is under development. See primers, schedule of symposiums, and other supporting work.
  • The 6th Power Plan is the Council's current power plan.
