As a co-sponsor of this concept, SRP appreciates the opportunity to participate in this task force. Our objective is to improve how WRAP calculates expected future load so that resource adequacy requirements better reflect growth trajectories that are consistent with our preparation for high season operational needs and current industry expectations, rather than relying on a default assumption.
Tacoma power shares the concerns of the sponsor and would like to participate in this work group to help make the load growth forecasts more accurate to avoid over or under-estimating WRAP FS obligations.
