CORRECTED LINKS – PR – New Report Calls for an End to Business-as-Usual Power Planning
An Introduction to Integrated Resources Planning
Integrated Resources Planning (IRP) is a public process in which planners work together with other interested parties to identify and prepare energy options that serve the highest possible public good. In the process, they establish scope, investigate options, prepare and evaluate integrated plans, select preferred plans, and establish mechanisms to monitor, evaluate, and iterate plans as conditions change.
The IRP method was developed in the 1980s in response to repeated cases of power plants that were not needed and experienced serious cost and time overruns. In contrast to the limited choices considered in conventional power development planning processes, IRP considers a full range of power sector investments to meet new demand for electricity, not only in new generation sources, but also in transmission, distribution, and – importantly – demand-side measures such as energy efficiency on an equal basis. IRP plans use long-term (20-30 year) planning horizons and include careful consideration of risk. Best practice IRPs integrate environmental and other external costs and benefits.
The IRP method was developed in the United States, and is currently required in 28 US states. When done properly, IRP provides a structure and an opportunity for utility systems and stakeholders to learn and to develop plans in a co-operative atmosphere. Ultimately, better decision-making processes result in power plans more closely aligned with societal goals.
Although a comprehensive IRP process requires a substantial commitment of time, IRPs lead to better outcomes: lower cost electricity, lower risk from price volatility, and lower social and environmental impact. They can do so through emphasizing services (cooling, heating, lighting, etc.) rather than kilowatt hours of electricity alone, through evaluation that considers full social and environmental costs rather than narrow consideration of only utility finances, and through choices that lower cost to society under a full spectrum of scenarios. Generally, these better outcomes involve considerably higher investment in energy efficiency and demand-side management than utilities would deploy without an IRP process.
The new International Rivers guide to Integrated Resource Planning introduces the IRP concept, contrasts it with conventional practices of power sector planning, and explains the IRP process step by step. The report also includes best practice examples from the United States and other countries.

لقد فر نحو ثلث مجموع سكان سوريا من منازلهم، وثمة أكثر من 2 مليون لاجئ يعيشون خارج سوريا – معظمهم في لبنان والأردن وتركيا والعراق ومصر – ونزح 4.25 مليون شخص داخليا. وقد فروا من أتون أعمال العنف وانتهاكات حقوق الإنسان المتفشية، ومنها جرائم الحرب وجرائم ضد الإنسانية.
Almost one third of Syria’s population have fled their homes. More than 2 million are refugees living outside Syria – mostly in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt – and 4.25 million individuals are displaced internally in Syria. They have fled widespread violence and human rights abuses, including war crimes and crimes against humanity. Amnesty International is publishing this report to draw attention to the difficulties faced by people from Syria as they flee their country in search of safety.

As of May 2013, there were approximately 54,580 (May, 2013) asylum seekers in Israel who entered via the Egyptian Sinai border. Of these, 66% are Eritrean, 25% are Sudanese, and the rest are from Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Somalia and other countries. 20% of this population is female. Of these, an estimated 7,000 are people who were tortured and/or extorted for ransom in the Sinai, either by groups paid to smuggle them to Israel, or increasingly, as a result of kidnappings from Sudan and Ethiopia.
