The procedure used to balance loads and resources includes the annual study of the load growth. With the results of the annual load forecast, the consideration of IID’s owned resources and purchases, and the 15 % reserve margin we determine the cumulative new resources needs. In order to identify and acquire the right type of products, IID uses state of the art modeling software to find the optimized resources solution. To satisfy the short-term needs (less than two year horizon), the Trading Group investigates the market via phone calls and e-mail with all qualified parties with the use of approved transactions and limits. The long-term needs (more than two year horizon) the Energy Resources Planning group follows a formal RFP process with the approval of the Board of Directors.
