Power System & Resource Planning
A capacity, renewable-integration or long-term adequacy decision needs a defensible technical evidence base.
The decision this supports
What to build, in what order, and whether the target you have been given is deliverable by the system that has to carry it.
What's included
- Integrated resource planning (IRP)
- Scenario analysis and resource adequacy
- Renewable and storage integration analysis
- Long-term planning and grid implications
- System economics
What we need from you
- Historical demand and, where available, hourly load data
- Existing generation fleet with technical and cost parameters
- Network constraints or connection queue, at whatever resolution exists
- Policy targets or obligations the plan has to satisfy
- The decision the plan must support, and who has to approve it
What you receive
- A least-cost expansion pathway across generation, storage and demand-side resources
- Scenario comparison under demand, fuel-price and policy uncertainty
- Resource adequacy assessment against the reliability standard you are held to
- Grid and flexibility implications of each pathway
- A model you keep, documented so your own team can re-run it
What you can do afterwards
Defend a capacity pathway in front of a board and a regulator, and re-run it yourself when fuel prices, demand or policy move — without re-commissioning the study.
What usually happens next
Commonly an annual model refresh as assumptions move, procurement support for the first tranche, or training so the client's own team runs the next cycle.
Indicative duration
Typically 3–6 months, depending on data availability and the number of scenarios
