Integrated System Plan Update
On Oct. 2, 2023, SRP’s District Board of Directors approved power system strategies to be implemented between 2025 and 2035 that prioritize affordability, reliability, sustainability and customer focus.
The strategies are outlined in SRP’s Integrated System Plan (ISP), which was developed as part of a two-year, data-driven planning process that incorporated perspectives from Arizona universities, businesses, environmental organizations, limited income advocates, nonprofits and more.
SRP is one of the first U.S. utilities to shift from a traditional Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to an Integrated System Plan. The previous planning process is traditional for the utility industry and mainly considers what power resources will be needed. SRP’s Integrated System Plan is a holistic roadmap for its future power system that factors in evolving customer energy needs and achieving SRP’s 2035 carbon reduction goals. The new plan was developed through collaboration with stakeholders and involved modeling potential system plans under varying Valley growth scenarios and possible regulatory and supply chain environments.

This new Integrated System Plan:
- Collaboratively integrates all internal planning functions for generation, transmission, distribution and customer-sided resources
- Adapts to evolving industry demands and enhances long-term resource value for our customers and communities
- Addresses energy challenges through the lenses of sustainability, reliability and affordability
- Creates inclusive opportunities for active external stakeholder engagement
SRP's Integrated System Plan reports and deliverables
Reports and deliverables for SRP’s first-ever Integrated System Plan will be posted throughout the process.
- Summary Study Plan for SRP’s Integrated System Plan (Updated)
- SRP’s Integrated System Plan Scenario Narratives (Updated) (Study Plan Companion Document)
- SRP’s Integrated System Plan Assumptions Summary (Updated) (Study Plan Companion Document)
- SRP Customer Research Future of Energy Report
Engaging our stakeholders along the way
In the summer of 2021, SRP hosted an ISP Summer Stakeholder Series to update, educate and engage with external community stakeholders regarding the ISP transition. Working alongside communities is how SRP has helped to successfully grow the Valley. This transition is no different. Working with you through this transition is essential as we chart the course to a successful ISP.
