PSE convened a Resource Planning Advisory Group (RPAG) to provide expert technical input to support PSE’s energy resource planning. This group will meet regularly to support the 2027 Integrated System Plan (ISP).


Members of the public are invited to observe RPAG meetings and each meeting will include an opportunity for public comment. Interested parties may also submit written comments prior to or within one week of each meeting. All public comments will be compiled, and a summary of comments will be shared with RPAG members after the comment period ends. Feedback may be submitted via online form, by email at isp@pse.com, or via voicemail at 425-818-2051.


While we are not actively looking for new RPAG members at this time, we encourage you to submit an online application for future consideration as openings occur.
