In addition to government agencies, who else had input into the EMP draft?
The drafting of the EMP was an open and transparent process that sought to maximize public input. Hundreds of ideas, suggestions and comments were received at public meetings held around the state immediately after the announcement of the EMP. Since the announcement, a number of stakeholder groups met and offered recommendations on specific issues. These groups were comprised of representatives from energy companies, energy consulting firms, academics, consumer groups, business associations, non-profit organizations and members of the general public. Hundreds of other comments were received from a variety of sources through the EMP website. Every suggestion and comment was reviewed and given consideration as the final EMP was drafted.
