The U.S. energy system is changing faster than most organization's planning cycles, and new clean energy policies, evolving reliability standards, rapid load growth from data centers, electrification, and a flood of distributed resources are reshaping what a “leastcost, leastrisk” portfolio looks like.
Mastering
Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) is no longer optional-it's how utilities, regulators, and advisors make capital decisions that stand up to scrutiny, deliver reliability in extreme conditions, and keep bills affordable while meeting environmental commitments.
This seminar explains how to turn policy shifts and technological complexity into a repeatable, defensible planning process. You'll learn the methods, models, and software that top IRP teams use to translate goals into portfolios-then into procurement and execution.
