Procurement Plans
Procurement plans detail what is
going to be procured and how it will be done. These plans must adhere to State
Policies, including the Loading Order, which mandates that energy efficiency
and demand response be pursued first, followed by renewables and lastly
clean-fossil generation. If the procurement plans do not comply with State
policies and adequately balance safety, reliability, cost, and environmental
goals, utilities are ordered to modify them.
