Minnesota Power Integrated Resource Plan
Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy
Completed 2011
The purpose of this project was to provide comments on Minnesota Power's 2010 IRP after analyzing the Company's Strategist modeling results and presenting our own modeling scenarios and results. Synapse participated in several rounds of discovery questions asked to MN Power, replicated the five modeling scenarios analyzed by the Company, performed sensitivity analysis modeling on those scenarios, and created a "Synapse Reference Case." Synapse also modeled several retirement scenarios based on the Synapse Reference Case. Comments were due in September 2010 with rebuttal comments due one month later.
