Establish energy planning which incorporates the power needs of the region, regardless of

Determine the best use of electricity in the region. Electrically intensive and inefficient 

 manufacturing sites may close as a direct result of global price competition. This is not a 

 call to close Direct Service Industries (DSIs), it is a call for us to encourage energy 

 efiBciency through the eflfective use of our limited electric resource in our homes and 

 businesses.

 Utilities then could establish partnerships with their customers, IPPs and/or BPA to 

 acquire those resources that the customers need in accordance with the regional energy 

 plan and sound business practices.
