1 COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO PUERTO RICO ENERGY COMMISSION RE: INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN FOR THE PUERTO RICO ELECTRIC POWER AUTHORITY MATTER NO.: CEPR-AP-2015-0002 SUBJECT: IRP PROCEDURAL TIMELINE RESOLUTION On October 23, 2015, the Puerto Rico Energy Commission (“Commission”) postponed the technical conference in the Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”) review process based, among other things, in the interest shown by several intervenors to present alternatives to the IRP submitted by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”). 1 The Commission now establishes the following timeline and procedures for the IRP review and approval process. Discovery Deadline – The parties to the IRP review process shall submit their final discovery requests no later than February 29, 2016. Additional discovery requests are not authorized beyond this date. However, all procedural matters regarding discovery requests made before February 29, 2016, including answers to requests and motions to compel requested information, may be submitted beyond the February 29, 2016 deadline in accordance with the Commission’s regulations, resolutions and the dispositions of this Resolution. Discovery Terms – Based on the complexity and scope of the interrogatories being served during the IRP review and approval process, several parties have requested an extension of time to answer discovery questionnaires. Since the public interest is best served when all parties involved in this process have the information necessary to better assist the Commission in its review of the IRP, the Commission deems appropriate to extend the twenty-day (20) term set forth in Section 8.03 of Regulation 8543, known as Regulation on Adjudicative, Notice of Noncompliance, Rate Review and Investigation Proceedings. Therefore, all parties must provide the answers to any discovery request on or before March 21, 2016. This includes any questionnaire or discovery request served before the issuance of this order. 1 See Commission’s Resolución y Orden, Part II of October 23, 2015.
