This section presents a summary of the IRP Plan development including Initial Plan Analysis and
development of the Intermediate Plans, Refined Plans, and Short List Plans.
Assumptions are detailed throughout the IRP report including those for asset service life
estimates which were based on best industry practice, enhanced overflow control, demand
reduction, end-of-period analysis, and financial modelling.
Asset life data and fractional values are contained in the costing procedures technical
memorandum, which is presented in Volume 3 Appendix C.
Figure 5.1 presents an overview of the IRP alternative resource plan development and evaluation
process. A flow chart is provided as Figure 5.6 illustrating the initial, intermediate, refined, and
short-list alternative resource plans selection process. Through the synthesis of key inputs,
twenty-eight initial resource plans were developed. These were evolved through into 18
intermediate plans and then 10 refined plans. A short list of four plans was selected from the 10
refined plans. The final recommended plan was selected from the short list, which is presented in
Section 6, Recommended Resource Plan.
