Economic Transmission Planning

With rapid changes in power generation supply — from fossil power to renewable generation capacity — power markets are becoming more dynamic, with bigger and more frequent fluctuations in pricing. Being able to understand where markets are going and how to manage delivery bottlenecks that may affect your systems is critical to being successful. We work with independent system operators, power generators, load servicing entities, developers and other market participants to develop actionable transmission plans and solutions.
