Rubric and Reference Guide

The Best Practices Rubric and Reference Guide with accompanying quick-to-navigate table was developed by drawing and synthesizing from existing and documented practices into an accessible and curated version. The guide is intended to help regulators, utilities, and IRP stakeholders prioritize the planning outcomes they want from IRP, articulate these outcomes clearly and effectively, and ultimately empower planners to pursue specific and actionable planning practices most essential for realizing those outcomes.
