In 2007, the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) opened a rule making process to study the feasibility of uniform resource planning rules for all jurisdictional utilities, which resulted in the issuance of a Commission General Order and Integrated
Resource Planning (IRP) rules in April 2012. This type of planning helps electric utilities like Cleco Power plan for the future and provide reliable and least-cost electric service to customers while addressing the risks and uncertainties inherent in the
electric utility business.
In accordance with the IRP rules, Cleco Power initiated its current IRP process with a letter to the LPSC on Oct. 20, 2021. In addition to the current IRP process, Cleco Power developed resource plans in 2004,
2007, 2012, 2015 and 2019 to support its planning process.
