Integrated Resource & Activation Plan

The IRAP 

The Berkeley Clean Energy Campus Integrated Resource and Activation Plan (IRAP) comprehensively studies the technical and financial options available to UC Berkeley and has set the project up for design and initial construction. Integrated Resource and Activation Plan activities have included technical analysis on the energy solutions, infrastructure siting options, financial strategies, living lab opportunities, just transition considerations and stakeholder engagement. This effort includes engagement with campus government relations, the research enterprise, donor services, faculty experts and advisors to government and industry partners, and the UC Office of the President.

The IRAP led to the Berkeley Clean Energy Campus initiative receiving a capital investment of $249 million from the State of California and the University of California Board of Regents approving the project for design and the funding for the first phase of construction. The campus is on track to begin the initial phase of implementation the BCEC capital project by 2025. Phase 1 will accomplish a 70% reduction in building carbon emissions, will decommission the fossil fuel cogeneration plant and will connect the most energy intensive buildings to the new electrified heating and cooling plant by 2030 or sooner.
