Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Approvals

Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Approvals

Achieve long-term sustainability goals by automating the integrated resource plan approvals.

Why automate?

Energy and utilities sector companies need to forecast the demand for energy in order to ensure long-term sustainability and reliability. Teams need to design integrated resource plans that evaluate the sustainability of proposed energy strategies and assess their impact on the energy grid. These plans need to be reviewed by appropriate personnel to ensure that they align with long-term energy goals. With such high stakes associated with IRP plan approval, relying on traditional manual methods is not going to work in the long run. Moreover, the efficacy of manual systems does not hold good at scale, leading to missed opportunities and potential operational risks. Automation of the review and approval process brings efficiency and structure into IRP approval. IRP approval requests that are routed through a no code workflow solution like Cflow are compliant with regulatory requirements. Automation of IRP approval ensures transparency and accountability throughout the process.
