This committee helps the Council annually assess the adequacy of the regional supply five years out, counting only existing resources, planned resources that are sited and licensed and the energy efficiency savings targeted in the Council’s power plan. This annual assessment is intended to be an early warning should resource and energy efficiency acquisitions not keep pace with load growth and provides sufficient lead time for new acquisitions to be made, if necessary.
In 2013 the Council created the Resource Adequacy Advisory Committee (RAAC) to replace the Resource Adequacy Forum, which was an ad-hoc committee created in 2005 to aid in the assessment of regional power supply adequacy. The RAAC now performs this function as an advisory committee to the Council.
The Council, with the aid of the RAAC, annually assesses the adequacy of the regional supply five years out, counting only existing resources, planned resources that are sited and licensed and the energy efficiency savings targeted in the Council’s power plan. This annual assessment is intended to be an early warning should resource and energy efficiency acquisitions not keep pace with load growth and provides sufficient lead time for new acquisitions to be made, if necessary.
We encourage your participation in this process.
