Rocky Mountain Power today filed its 2021 Integrated Resource Plan with state utility commissions. The biennial long-term resource plan maintains Rocky Mountain Power’s strong reliability in delivering power to its customers.

 

New in this plan is the conversion of Jim Bridger plant units 1 and 2 to natural gas peaking units, storage and transmission investments and non-emitting dispatchable resources including advanced nuclear that can be called upon by the company when needed.

 

With a plan for new wind generation, transmission and significant new solar and storage resources, Wyoming will see continuing investment from the company. Increased energy efficiency and customer demand-response programs will also help provide reliable service and save customers money. Developed with comprehensive data analysis and active stakeholder input spanning more than a year-and-a-half, the plan anticipates the company’s adoption of additional lower-cost renewable resources to meet customer needs.
