The goal of power generation has always be to provide reliable power at affordable rates. With an aging fleet, a drive for cleaner power, and significant volatility, new-build and PPA decisions are becoming increasingly difficult. Can public companies fund both operations and risk management at reasonable capital rates? Can municipalities adopt new accounting standards without impacting their ability to borrow funds? Can renewables be added to a portfolio in a commercially reasonable manner?
Our professionals have experience across the power industry, from large utilities through IPPs to local cooperatives. In addition to hedging, risk management, and derivative accounting, we have also have helped many clients think through commercial responses to renewable portfolio standard requirements and carbon market scenarios. We can help your company:
- Develop commercially-viable strategies to integrate renewables into your generation portfolio
- Model and monitor asset value versus trading or hedge performance
- Build derivative effectiveness testing models for multiple pricing scenarios (i.e. heat rate options, load-shaped transactions, block sales and purchases, etc.)
- Manage hedge-related capital costs
- Design and implement risk strategy, asset modeling, and exposure optimization programs
