Title
Energy Supply Options Matrix (B)
Recommendation
The Regional Utilities Committee discuss the draft matrix received at the January 30, 2008 committee meeting which compares energy supply options on a wide range of criteria.
Explanation
On November 28, 2007 the Regional Utilities Committee expressed its interest in more fully comparing the nuclear capacity option to other alternatives. A matrix designed to accomplish this was discussed with staff, which were requested to bring a working draft for review by the Committee to the January 8, 2007 meeting. The alternatives to be compared included the responses to the Biomass RFP (received December 14, 2007) the nuclear capacity option, and expanded demand side management and solar deployment alternatives.
A draft matrix was presented to the RUC at the January 30, 2008 meeting for review.
