05. Please supply any comments on Section 2. PRC Prioritization Exercise

Electricity demand is rapidly increasing, driven by emerging loads such as electric vehicles (EVs), data centers, and widespread electrification. However, the pace of supply growth is not keeping up—slowed by interconnection queue backlogs, transmission build-out challenges, and other systemic bottlenecks. Utilities are caught in the middle, working hard to scale up power infrastructure to meet this accelerating demand. In light of these unprecedented pressures, it is essential that utilities are given greater certainty to plan effectively for future needs. To that end, Tacoma Power proposes a modest yet important adjustment to the PRC workplan: 1. Prioritize and expedite the task force workstream focused on Forward Showing stability and monthly planning reserve margin volatility. This work should begin as soon as possible. 2. To allocate resources effectively, the load growth factor task force workstream should be postponed until 2026, allowing focus on the more urgent Forward Showing and PRM volatility efforts.
