The falling costs of wind and solar power are pushing utilities to find ways to incorporate them into their long-range plans, even as they struggle to define what resources can be relied on to provide the dispatchable power they need. Its 2020 integrated resource plan (IRP) sets a goal of nearly 16 gigawatts of solar, 5.1
