Integrated resource planning is a process electric utilities use for
identifying and planning for future energy requirements. The goal is to identify
the short and long term member energy needs and the resources or the mix of
resources necessary to meet those needs in an efficient, reliable, cost
effective manner. In Hawaii, the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has issued an order which sets forth the guidelines that
electric and gas utilities must use when developing their integrated
resource plans.
