Salt River Project has moved forward with system strategies that place affordability, reliability and sustainability at the top of the utility’s priority list, officials said.
SRP directors voted this week to implement the strategies between 2025 and 2035, changing its integrated resource plan to an integrated system plan.
The change means SRP will have a “holistic roadmap for its future power system that factors in evolving customer energy needs and achieving SRP’s 2035 carbon reduction goals,” a release stated.
“We are projecting energy demand increases of more than 25 percent by 2030," Angie Bond-Simpson, SRP’s senior director of resource management, said.
"The Integrated System Plan will strengthen and prepare our grid for a future that’s largely powered by renewable energy without sacrificing the affordability and necessary power reliability to best serve one of the nation’s fastest-growing areas."
