The Conservation Resources Advisory Committee (CRAC) was created to advise the Council regarding formulating and reviewing policy and program alternatives to effectively develop the region's cost-effective conservation potential having significance to the Power Plan. The Regional Technical Forum (RTF) provides expert technical review of the Council's assessment. The Committee will address:
- Energy-efficiency measures and assumptions
- Global assumptions used in modeling (e.g., discount rate, line loss rate)
- Conservation supply curve assumptions for the plan
- Near-term and long-term achievability rates
- Avoided cost methodology
- Action Plan items for the Power Plan
The CRAC is chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Its members are appointed by the Council. Specific members can be solicited by the Council or membership can be voluntary in response to requests for membership. CRAC meetings are open to the public.
