DoE urged to re-run IRP base case without ‘artificial constraints’

It has been generated, however, using a computer model that places constraints on how much wind and solar can be introduced in a single year. It also uses cost assumptions for renewables that are higher than those that have already been achieved during the most recent bidding rounds. Read more here…
