Supply Side vs. Supply Recovery

With all the focus on building new power plants for the future, it seems like we’ve lost sight of the capacity that we already have!  That is a mistake that we can no longer afford to make!

Certainly, in some cases, emissions costs have made it more difficult. But, once an emissions strategy is developed, once it has been decided that the existing plant will remain in service, we need to maximize the generation that we have.

We need to maximize that asset! But, once a commitment is made to keep an asset, how do we maximize its value?

With power demand expected to increase about 4 % per year, the demand will be there.  Power prices are rising sharply! Electricity rates increased 9 % in 2006 alone!  (Energy Central.com/Energy Information Administration).  But, plant costs are growing rapidly too! How do you get control?

Existing assets are more valuable than ever. Good plant heat rates and high plant reliability are “golden”. But, how do you get your heat rates down? You plant reliability up? Operating costs down?
