Webinar - 1:30pm to 3:30pm Pacific Time

Overview of Power Planning and the Council:
Tom Eckman, Director, Power Division

The Council will be holding a webinar to give Council Members, stakeholders and the public an overview of the process we use to develop our power plan.

We’ll describe the major components of the plan and how each element is developed. Staff will present an overview of the methods we use to develop and vet the data and assumptions, including the role of our advisory committees. Staff will also describe the major analytical models we use, how these models are related, and their role in plan development.

We hope you’ll join us.
