Integrated Resource Planning passed; still waiting on PSC to implement rules The West Virginia Legislature passed a bill in 2014 to require electric utilities to do integrated resource planning. Under H.B. 2803, WV electric companies will have to submit electric generation plans to the WV Public Service Commission that include consideration of energy efficiency. The bill represents an agreement reached between WV electric utilities and EEWV. The PSC will be required to issue an order on integrated resource planning by March of 2015. Check out the Energy Savings Action Center, by Appalachian Voices -- an online tool promoting home energy efficiency, including information about utility programs, businesses that provide energy efficiency services, and tips for simple home energy improvements.
