Subject
Presentation on the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Modeling Results
Recommendation
No action is required by the Commissions. This is a presentation only.
Background
The California Energy Commission (CEC) requires Publicly Owned Utilities to create an
Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) every five years. IRPs describe how utilities plan to meet their
energy and capacity resource needs, policy goals, physical and operational constraints, and
other utility priorities while maintaining competitive rates. Pursuant to Public Utilities Code (PUC)
Section 9621, IRPs are reviewed by the CEC to ensure they meet various law policies and
regulations, including greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and renewable energy
procurement requirements. The City of Vernon (City) filed its last IRP in 2018 and is currently
developing its new plan.
On March 21, 2023, the City Council approved a services agreement with Ascend Analytics, LLC
(Ascend) to assist in developing an IRP. Together, the City and Ascend analyzed the City’s
demand forecast and energy efficiency programs, reviewed the City’s existing and proposed
energy resources and programs, examined the City’s interconnections and distribution facilities,
and assessed renewable energy and Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) compliance. This is
the second stage of the IRP for the Resources Group to present the survey findings that will be
used in the final scenarios, which will be presented to City Council by the end of 2023.
The IRP provides a comprehensive strategy to deliver reliable service, maintain competitive
rates, and achieve environmental goals. The City solicited guidance and direction from its
stakeholders. To that end, Vernon Public Utilities provided an electronic survey to community
stakeholders to gauge interest in important factors that will shape the utility’s future. This
presentation aims to look at the modeling results that compare the types of resources that will
make up the overall portfolio to be considered in the IRP.
Fiscal Impact

MGS is kept in a 2x1 configuration until the end of 2029 at a 139
MW capacity.
In 2030, it reverts to a 1x1 configuration at a 67 MW capacity.
Energy and capacity gaps are offset by market purchases (no new
projects and non-compliant in the future )
Portfolio does not meet state -required Renewable Portfolio
Standard (RPS) targets in the future.

•Internal Generation, including MGS, is kept in a 2x1 configuration until the end of
2029 at a 139 MW capacity. Beginning in 2030, it reverts to a 1x1 configuration at
a 67 MW capacity. This model does not account for MGS generation beyond 2035
due to emissions regulations.
•Solar resources from Southern and Northern California are chosen to diversify the
portfolio RPS generation.
•The Ascend Capacity Expansion (ACapEx) model selected the most cost -effective
wind resources from Southern California.
•The ACapEx model selected 4 -Hour Battery Storage as they were the most cost -
effective capacity resource. This is based on costs provided in the new Resource
Cost slide.
