:Energy Planning And Management Program

Western proposes to establish an Energy Planning and Management Program (the Program) to replace its Guidelines and Acceptance Criteria (G&AC) for the Conservation and Renewable Energy (C&RE) Program and to evaluate ways to make future resource commitments to existing customers. If adopted, the proposed Program would require Western's long-term firm customers to implement long-term energy planning to help enhance efficient electric energy use. The proposed Program could link Western's power resource allocations to customer programs for long-term energy planning and efficient electric energy use, or Western could continue to market power on a project-specific basis in the future.
