Integrated Resource Plan
Every three years, Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) is required to submit its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). The 20-year forecast outlines I&M’s plan to serve existing and future customers in a reliable and economic manner. On July 1, 2019, I&M submitted its 2018-19 Integrated Resource Plan to the IURC. I&M will file the 2018-19 IRP with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) on August 14, 2019.
The 2018-19 I&M Integrated Resource Plan is provided below:
Stakeholder Engagement
In preparation of the 2018-19 Integrated Resource Plan, I&M established a stakeholder engagement process. Interested parties were invited to participate in the planning or review process before the plan was submitted to the IURC and MPSC. The stakeholder engagement process for the 2018-19 Integrated Resource Plan is complete.
The three objectives for the stakeholder engagement process were:
- Listen: Understand stakeholder concerns and objectives.
- Inform: Increase stakeholder understanding of the Integrated Resource Plan process, key assumptions and the challenges facing I&M and the electric utility industry.
- Consider: Provide a forum for productive stakeholder feedback at key points in the Integrated Resource Plan process to inform I&M’s decision making.
As part of the stakeholder engagment process, I&M sought participaiton in the IRP development through a series of four workshops:
