Abstract:

This document is primarily intended to be a resource for utilities, regulators, and other stakeholders as they engage in utility transportation electrification (TE) plan development and evaluation by highlighting strong program designs from around the country and proposing best practices for different components of a utility TE plan. The document identifies the different categories of investment and programs in a typical TE plan, describes innovative programs approved across the country (with accompanying links), and proposes best practices to maximize program participation and public benefits. This document is a result of Western Resource Advocates’ (WRA’s) experience working on these plans in the region and aims to provide an overview of what is typically contained in a TE plan, as well as explain specific program design considerations.
