Oct. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- ScottMadden, Inc., a leading general management consulting firm, recently published “Improving Fossil Fleet Performance through Benchmarking.” This report addresses ScottMadden’s approach to fossil fleet benchmarking, providing operators with the analytics needed to succeed.  

Fossil generation is facing unprecedented challenges due to the current economic environment. Coal plants are being retired at a record pace, and base load fossil generation is unlikely to be replaced in the foreseeable future. With ever increasing performance pressures on fossil units, operators will be required to do more with less as new coal plants continue to be more difficult and expensive to build and budgets continue to be tight.  

Additional regulations are both inevitable and costly. The EPA’s Projected Regulations of air, water, and coal ash disposal will require owners of coal power plants to invest in even more costly pollution control and monitoring equipment.

For challenges such as these, benchmarking proves to be a critically important tool. Meeting cost and reliability objectives now requires the specific, actionable information; such as that developed through focused benchmarking. The “Improving Fossil Fleet Performance through Benchmarking” report outlines ScottMadden’s approach to fossil fleet benchmarking, highlighting specific and actionable analysis, prioritized results for optimum impact, and organizational change management.
