City Of Batavia Integrated Resource Plan 2026-2045
The City of Batavia's Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) aims to identify actionable near-term strategies and inform longer-term planning efforts to ensure reliability, maximize energy affordability, and meet local and state energy policy requirements. Key priorities include mitigating exposure to volatile PJM energy and capacity markets by evaluating and deploying optimal supply-side resources, such as natural gas reciprocating engines (RECIPs), and implementing demand-side programs like smart thermostats and Time of Use (TOU) rates. The plan also considers factors such as load growth, natural gas price outlooks, and state regulations to guide strategic resource procurement and reduce cost risks for ratepayers.
