EAI consults on a wide range of electric industry regulation and market restructuring matters. We strive to design and develop electricity markets with a key focus on least-cost, safe and reliable that are open, fair and equitable for all industry participants with the efficient integration of renewables, energy storage and distributed generation.
Our specialized services encompass the following areas:
Electricity Market Analysis & Modeling
Our analysis involves chronological, multi-area electricity market modeling that can be used to forecast electricity market prices, heat rate projections, analyze market power, quantify marginal production costs and forecast pricing behaviors in wholesale dispatch, energy storage, renewables and ancillary markets.
Asset Valuation & Stranded Costs
In addition to evaluating assets through an income and life cycle costing approach, EAI offers applied statistical services to estimate the market value of electric power plants and power-purchase agreements (PPAs) in open and regulated electricity markets. Our expert analytics include electric distribution and transmission system planning, stranded cost determination, asset valuation for tax assessment and utility rate design.
