Introduction to Power Supply Planning

October 27, 2026 Online :: Central Time

”EUCI offers comprehensive courses led by very knowledgeable subject matter experts. I would recommend EUCI to utility professionals, from an entry-level analyst to a senior manager.”

Sr. Project Manager, Southern California Edison

This course will introduce power supply planning within the power and utility industry, focusing on the fundamental concepts, tools, and strategies used to ensure a reliable, efficient, and stable energy supply. Attendees will learn about the key elements of power supply systems, including load requirements, planning reserves, generation types, and portfolio development, as well as factors that influence power supply planning, such as the regulatory landscape, markets and market-based resources, resource costs and operating characteristics, weather and environmental factors, and technological advancements. This course will be most beneficial in supporting attendee efforts at the strategic, rather than modeling, level.

Learning Outcomes

  • Review the basics of power supply planning and its role in achieving reliable and efficient energy systems
  • Evaluate key grid components of power supply planning including load requirements
  • Discuss various generation types and how they impact planning
  • Assess the impact of regulatory frameworks, market structures, and environmental consideration on power supply planning and decision making
  • Explore short-term and long-term planning strategies, including integrated resource plans (IRPs)
  • Review integration of planning with resource procurement
