Join Acelerex CEO Dr. Randell Johnson for the Integrated Resource Planning seminar, a two-day, in-depth classroom seminar (CPE approved).

This program is designed for utility planners, regulators, consumer advocates, and energy professionals who need to understand how to plan in a rapidly changing energy landscape.

The course will cover:

• IRP fundamentals: why IRP matters, least-cost and least-risk planning, hybrid resource credits, stacked services, and reliability criteria
• Emerging technologies: how to represent energy storage, DERs, microgrids, virtual power plants, and hybrids in IRPs
• Case studies: lessons learned from recent IRPs across the U.S. including utilities in Colorado, Minnesota, Virginia, and Puerto Rico
• Modeling methods and tools: capacity optimization, production cost simulation, ELCC, reserve margin, and emissions constraints
• Simulation examples: workflow steps for IRP modeling, interpreting results, and metrics for decision-making
• Forecasting: demand, fuels, renewables, energy, ancillary services, technology costs, and scenario shaping

This training will provide practical insights, real-world case studies, and hands-on modeling examples to help you build IRPs that are transparent, defensible, and actionable.
