2)

strategic plan that outlines a path to carbon-free energy through 2030, while
synergizing key inputs including the Power Delivery Master Plan (“PDMP”),

It
was recommended that PWP return to MSC in eight months with a dashboard, and
that the integrated strategic plan be prepared in consultation with Energy and
