Resource Portfolio Strategist

Our resource portfolio assessment practice strategically addresses a range of issues faced by energy utilities. From integrated resource planning to competitive procurement to financial risk modeling, our team brings clients a powerful blend of industry experience and analytical capabilities.
 
Our innovative spreadsheet-based tool, Resource Portfolio Strategist, delivers robust analytical and decision-making support capabilities to resource planning professionals – without requiring expensive proprietary software. This tool evaluates the financial, risk, and rate implications of alternate portfolios before resources are required, and assists in evaluating actual bids and final resource selection.

Resource Portfolio Strategist incorporates crucial variables that affect portfolio costs – such as load forecasts, individual resource characteristics, electric and gas market prices, transmission constraints, environmental externalities, economic development – and their associated risk distributions. Our resource planning team combines bundles of various resources into portfolio alternatives and provides cost, benefit, and trade-off results to support decision-making, consistent with financial risk management practices.
