A final Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) that assesses future electric power supply options for Los Alamos County is posted here as of August 1st. The electric power industry is changing dramatically to reduce its emissions of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse” gases. The Board of Public Utilities (BPU) established in 2013 a goal for the Department of Public Utilities “to be a carbon neutral electric provider by 2040.”
