MSB Energy Associates - Energy Resource Procurement and Strategy

MSB Energy Associates' staff can help customers and power providers to economically and reliably meet their energy strategy and procurement objectives. Our staff has the technical expertise to assist in evaluating power contracts, generation options, comprehensive energy strategies, transmission contracts and transmission plans.

The evolving marketplace is changing power procurement practices and strategies. We help our clients to understand the changes, to find opportunities for reaching their objectives, and to know and respond to the risks they face in their decisions. Many decisions are time-sensitive. We give the professional advice needed within the available time at an affordable price.

Examples of our work in energy resource procurement and strategy include:

Analyzing the capability of Michigan’s regional transmission system to support power sales in a competitive market. The analysis included a comprehensive review of transmission contracts in the region.

Developing a standby-generator program for a wholesale public power utility to provide reliability for its system and its industrial customers.

Designing energy efficiency and load management programs for industrial, commercial, institutional and residential customers

Assessing potential reliability impacts of restructuring and preparing recommendations regarding the need for state rulemakings to help assure service reliability.

Modeling the effects of restructuring on prices, environmental quality and renewables acquisition.

Assessing dispersed generation options for villages in Alaska.

Evaluating transmission facility construction proposals.

Reviewing an application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for establishing an exit fee for the potential loss of a supply contract.

Conducting analyses, preparing reports, and testifying on proposed power supply cost recovery factors, and on natural gas planning and procurement issues.

Analyzing air emissions control technology options and costs for power plants in New England.

Comparing utility supply-and demand-side resource selection and Clean Air Act compliance on a regional versus a utility-by-utility basis using production simulation modeling.
