Annual EE Planning

• Challenges:– Annual Plan editing/review timeline is too compressed

– No formal structure for EERMC and stakeholder priorities input

• Objectives:– More clarification on defining key issues, and process for settling

– More time for review and feedback

– Increase timeframe for analysis, fact-checking

• Opportunity:– Adjust and enhance the process before cycle starts again
