2. The District should investigate expansion of the White Creek energyproject.3. Investigate the availability and feasibility for development of landfill gas,biomass and geothermal resources in the Pacific Northwest.4. The District should decline to participate in Energy Northwest’s IGCCproject. The District doesn’t need the resource and the risks of IGCCtechnology are significantly larger than other resource options.5. Implement all cost-effective conservation consistent with the requirementsof, and future amendments to, I-937.6. Continue to support renewal of renewable incentives, such as REPI,Production Tax Credits and CREBs, by Congress.7. Support state legislation that allows publicly owned utilities to fully utilizethe full range of incentives listed above.8. Participate in regional efforts on BPA contracts. Many important issues,including the power purchase arrangements that BPA will offer, theamount and cost of BPA power available to the District remain to beresolved. During 2008, the District will continue working with BPA andother regional parties to develop the new long-term BPA power supplycontracts for cost-based power. In these efforts, the District will promotecreation of products that can best enable the District to meet the needs ofits retail electric customers.Action Plan – IRP Analysis1. Undertake additional analysis of capacity requirements and capacityresources to meet future requirements.2. Monitor development of resource adequacy standards for the PacificNorthwest.3. Develop a better understanding of the Renewable Energy Credit (REC)market.4. Follow trends in the cost of wind projects.a. Wide range in capital costs currently being quoted by regionalutilities.5. BPA in the process of developing a separate rate for integration ofintermittent resources. Continue analysis of the alternative forms of BPApurchase arrangements.10
6. Acquire a better understanding of the proposed mechanism forimplementing the 4% cost cap under I-937. This cost cap may triggerbefore the volumetric requirements of I-937 are met.The District expects to update its IRP on a two-year cycle to ensure the processremains fluid and new issues, analyses, and information are incorporated into theplan on a regular basis.11
