Integrated Resource Planning (IRP)

A holistic approach to Power System design that recognises a growing volume of Energy Resources will be LV-connected and must be considered as an integrated part of any future system design.

It actively incorporates public participation in the co-development of plans to ensure both centralised and decentralised Energy Resources will interoperate in a manner that optimises cost and reliability and maximises societal and environmental outcomes.

Given the fast-evolving nature of power system transformation, the Future Grid Accelerator (FGA) has the status of a perpetual BETA version. Your suggestions for how each concept and definition may be enhanced are very welcome.

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in subsequent updates.
