Senate Bill 350 (De León, Chapter 547, Statutes of 2015), (Public Utilities Code Section 9622) requires the California Energy Commission to review the integrated resource plans of identified publicly owned utilities to ensure they meet various requirements specified in the law, including greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and renewable energy procurement requirements.
Integrated resource plans are long-term planning documents that outline how publicly owned utilities will meet demand reliably and cost effectively while achieving state policy goals and mandates. Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) submitted its 2022 Integrated Resource Plan and supplemental information for review on September 14, 2022. The SMUD IRP filing includes the 2030 Zero Carbon Plan, which the SMUD Board of Directors adopted as their IRP on June 16, 2022. This staff paper presents the results of the Energy Commission staff review of the SMUD 2022 integrated resource plan.
