Market Power Analysis Services
Changes implemented by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) in early 2004 will require many utilities and merchant generators
to comply with a complex set of new rules in order to obtain and/or
retain the ability to sell wholesale power at market based rates. Specifically,
the FERC’s new market power review process will require many companies
to perform vastly expanded electric generation market power evaluation
studies. Also, entities that desire to purchase or sell existing
generating plants, irregardless of size, may be subject to increased
FERC scrutiny regarding market power concerns.
Golden Energy Services is up to date with these latest industry
developments and has performed electric generation market power studies
in support of utility market rate authority filings and merchant
generator sales transactions. Golden has the knowledge and
experience to perform comprehensive market power studies in support
of the latest FERC filing requirements, or to review and critique
studies performed by others.
Wind Power Analysis Services
Due to the recent price increases for most fossil fuels, many entities
are actively evaluating the development of wind generation as a viable
long-term energy solution. In addition to being non-polluting, wind
generation can provide resource diversity benefits and help companies
hedge against the unpredictable volatility of conventional power
plant fuel sources.
Golden Energy Services can assist customers in performing a broad
range of wind generation studies. In particular, Golden specializes
in evaluating the operational impacts of integrating wind resources
into utility system generating portfolios. Golden stands ready
to assist wind developers, utilities, regulators, and customer interest
groups in the study of existing or proposed wind generation projects. |
