Grant PUD Integrated Resource Plan 2026-2046
The Grant PUD Integrated Resource Plan for 2026 outlines a strategy to address increasing customer demand, resource adequacy, and clean energy compliance over a 20-year outlook. Key priorities include managing load growth uncertainty (expected 30% increase in the next decade), addressing water variability from the Priest Rapids Project, and meeting Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) requirements for 80% clean energy by 2030 and 100% by 2045. The plan recommends adding 360 MW of battery storage for early-term capacity needs and 800 MW of solar resources near the end of the planning horizon for clean energy compliance. It also incorporates wholesale markets, renewable energy credits, and conservation to manage costs, risks, and compliance, aiming for a resilient portfolio that adapts to future uncertainties.
