About this meeting: This will be the first in a series of meetings as we begin developing the Northwest Regional Ninth Power Plan. This first meeting will introduce you to the upcoming Ninth Power Plan, including the timeline and some of the new tools, assumptions, and options for this plan. In addition, we will solicit your feedback on some of the early decisions being made regarding inputs to the planning process. This includes some global parameters (e.g., discount rate, T&D deferral, line losses) and an initial look at the preliminary EE measure list. We also have a study underway to help us understand the administrative costs of EE (i.e., do we stick with the 20% of measure cost assumption, or do we now have better data?)
