  23. The Choice • A plan with more resources reduces dependence on the power market and increases power price and rate stability • A plan with resources provides guidance to the region regarding the resources that promote an efficient and reliable system • Very little difference exists between least-cost and least-risk plans in the five-year Action Plan time period. • The least-risk plan preserves decision milestones 23
