The Commission Forecast 1992 Report: Important Resource Planning Issues
Abstract
There is a general agreement among experts in the
electric utility industry that some power plants will be built
in Texas in the 1990s. However, the existence of
numerous alternatives to meet the growing demand may
have a powerful impact on this new phase of construction.
Therefore, the magnitude of the new power plant
construction will probably not be as great as what we
thought a few years ago.
The author emphasizes the importance of using an
integrated resource planning approach, in which alternative
resources could be analyzed and compared adequately.
While there are many important issues in the preparation of
a utility's electric resource plan, the Commission staff will
address a few important ones in the next Commission
Forecast Report (Forecast '92). In particular, the
Commission staff will insure that alternative resources, the
environmental impacts of different technologies, and
innovative rate design options are considered.
