IRP Stakeholder Process in Washington

On behalf of the Sierra Club, Synapse participated in the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) integrated resource plan (IRP) development stakeholder process. Synapse attended numerous stakeholder meetings, reviewed materials and company analysis, and assisted Sierra Club with comments throughout the process and ultimately on the draft IRP. The primary focus of Sierra Club’s efforts was to ensure a thorough, critical analysis of the viability of the Colstrip coal-fired power plant as a primary resource for meeting PSE’s needs.
