The City is seeking residents interested in serving on a new Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Task Force.
An IRP is a comprehensive, long-term roadmap that will be used by the Batavia Municipal Electric Utility to determine how best to meet future energy demand—balancing reliability, cost, environmental regulations, and policy goals. This Task Force will play an important role in reviewing and strengthening the City’s draft IRP.
Members will:
• Analyze the draft IRP and summarize key facts, assumptions, and conclusions
• Identify gaps in information or data
• Present findings in a clear, accessible way for the public
• Evaluate how well the IRP aligns with the City’s Energy Policy, including affordability, sustainability, resilience, and adaptability
The Task Force will meet at least twice per month.
We are looking for thoughtful, engaged individuals with an interest in energy, public policy, or community planning. Technical expertise is valued but not required—just a willingness to learn and contribute. You must also be available to attend the June 9 Committee of the Whole meeting at 7 pm at the Jeffery D. Schielke Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave., Batavia, for an interview by the City Council.
If you’re interested in helping shape the City’s energy future, we encourage you to apply. Fill out the application form and attach a resume at bataviail.gov/forms/1250 by Tuesday, June 2.
