About Power Profit

Rapid changes in electric power markets are posing real-time challenges for operators of generating facilities across the country. Green energy mandates are driving expansion of variable generation. Shale gas reserves have pushed fuel and electricity prices to historic lows, just as new environmental rules are putting pressure on fossil-fired plants. Baseload facilities, designed to operate virtually 24/7, now are cycling to accommodate market fluctuations. And distributed generation, storage, and demand-side management are changing the way electricity is sold and distributed. Fortnightly’s Power Profit brings together leading experts in asset optimization, resource planning, and risk management to help power generators run their long-term assets in a real-time world — and to cope with new pressures on the balance sheet.
