EES Consulting has assisted in strategic planning, engineering and rate setting activities for Clark Public Utilities (CPU) for the past twenty years. Activities completed include load forecasting, evaluation of rates from the Bonneville Power Administration, feasibility studies on generation projects, integrated resource planning, and conservation implementation planning. EES Consulting issued requests for proposals (RFPs) on Clark’s behalf for power generation projects, natural gas supplies and power purchases.

CPU’s projected power supply costs are based on the forecast loads, as well as wholesale power and natural gas prices. EES Consulting assists CPU on an on-going basis in evaluating agreements and contracts to facilitate the forward purchases and sales of energy commodities, transmission, transportation and spot market purchases. EES Consulting works with CPU in actively pursuing resource alternatives that will stabilize its exposure to volatile markets.
