Overview
The
Guam Power Authority's (GPA) 2008 Integrated Resource
Plan (IRP) is an open dialogue between the Authority
and its stakeholders to determine the best strategies
for the type, amount and timing of new resource
acquisitions to meet future electrical loads.
New resource candidates will include both supply-side,
renewable, and demand-side options.
The
IRP process seeks to create the most cost-effective
resource plan with respect to the constraints
and criteria identified by the Authority, its
regulators, customers, and other stakeholders.
Stakeholders
including those at GPA have articulated several
such criteria during GPA's recent strategic planning
activities including:
- Recognizing that reliable
electric service continues to be a key issue
with GPA customers and while significant gains
have been made, it is important to continue
to improve..
- Recognizing that GPA’s
power plants have a significant environmental
footprint and future resource selections must
be in line with evolving renewable resource
goals.
- Recognizing that the
current generating fleet is dependent on oil-based
fuels. GPA has a goal for diversifying its generation
resources.
- The IRP stakeholder process recognizes that
GPA's customers desire a more meaningful dialog
with the Authority on issues that affect them.
- The Department of Defense's
(DOD) expansion will have a material effect
on the island including electrical power infrastructure.
- The Authority's IRP process should use and
provide information to DOD NEPA process.
GPA
has incorporated a stakeholder process that embraces
represenatives from local government agencies,
private industry, military sector, legislature
as well as from the general community.
Stakeholder
meetings are opened to the public and are tentatively
