The Los Alamos County Board of Public Utilities held a work session on October 1, 2025, focusing on key updates regarding the integrated resource plan and its implementation. The meeting began with a call for public comments, but no participants chose to speak, either in person or via Zoom.
Following the public comment period, Chair Gibson noted that a closed session had occurred the previous evening, where specific topics were discussed, but no actions were taken. This statement was requested to be included in the meeting minutes.
The board then moved to approve the agenda, which passed unanimously. The primary focus of the meeting was an update on the integrated resource plan (IRP) and the associated developments for Foxtail Flats, along with discussions about Elvato. Deputy Utility Manager for Power Supply, Ben Ulbrich, presented the latest progress on the IRP, acknowledging that the current trajectory has deviated from the original plan. He emphasized the intention to develop a new IRP as soon as feasible.
This meeting highlights ongoing efforts by the Board of Public Utilities to adapt and refine their resource management strategies, reflecting the dynamic nature of energy planning in Los Alamos County. Further updates on the IRP and related projects are anticipated in future sessions.
