Given that there were numerous alternatives for the resources, including demand-side management, interruptible loads, and off-system purchases, many case studies were ncccssai y. Each plan for service to future loads had to be tested for conformance with system and regional reliability criteria. The plans were further examined for cost, including losses, and examined for flexibility. Any acceptable plans had to...

Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) - A plan developed by an electric utility, sometimes as required by a public regulatory commission or agency, that defines the short and long term capacity additions (supply side) and demand side management programs that it will undertake to meet projected energy demands. 

Stranded Investment (Costs and Benefits) - An investment in a power piant or demand side management measures or programs, that become uneconomical due to increased competition in the electric power market. For example, an electric power plant may produce power that is more costly than what the market rate for electricity is, and the power plant owner may have to close the plant, even though the capital and financing costs of building the plant have not been recovered through prior sales of electricity from the plant. This is considered a Stranded Cost. Stranded Benefits are those utility... 

The term demand-side management (DSM) refers to measures taken by utilities to influence the level or timing of their customers energy use in order to optimize the use of existing utility assets and defer the addition of new generating capacity. These measures take many forms, including ...
