strengthens financial forecasting, and supports the responsible stewardship of public funds. <br />Moreover, this work reflects the City’s ongoing fiduciary duty to its ratepayers. Resource <br />decisions that are not grounded in rigorous analysis can introduce avoidable financial and <br />operational risks. By contrast, CEU’s planning framework emphasizes data-driven evaluation, <br />portfolio diversification, and alignment with regulatory trajectories, ensuring that decisions are <br />defensible, balanced, and consistent with good utility practice. <br />The completed planning components provide a structured framework to evaluate trade-offs <br />between cost, reliability, and emissions. This analysis supports informed decision-making that <br />balances near-term affordability with long-term system sustainability. <br />It is important to recognize that these analyses represent a point-in-time assessment based on <br />current assumptions related to market conditions, regulatory requirements, and system load. <br />Given the dynamic nature of the energy sector, CEU will continue to update and refine its <br />planning analysis. This iterative approach ensures continued alignment with evolving policy <br />requirements while maintaining a strong focus on rate stability, prudent financial management, <br />and fiduciary responsibility. <br /> <br /> <br />Issues/Analysis: <br />The purpose of the presentation is to discuss the findings of the modeling and analysis. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impacts: <br />There are no direct fiscal impacts of receiving this report. <br /> <br />Alternatives: <br />Provide alternative direction to staff. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
