2012 Integrated Resource Plan
• The IRP looks at both “Demand Side” and “Supply Side” options that will minimize costs and assure adequate supply of power for Guam’s future.
• This presentation focuses on Supply Side options, including both conventional and renewable generation alternatives, that can be considered in the planning process.

Two Crucial Goals
• GPA’s goal to provide reliable, cost effective power supply with minimal environmental impact • Fuel diversity• Renewables
• The 2008 IRP set the stage for the acquisition of major renewable resources—20 MW of solar at a minimum in the near term and perhaps more
