Generation Outage Excellence: Streamlining Processes & Ensuring Compliance in Energy Transition

Описание: The utility and energy landscape has continued to evolve, with today’s generation mix including fossil fuels alongside steady growth in renewable energy resources. The U.S. planned outage market supporting these assets has approached $25 billion annually. However, the true costs have extended beyond spending on equipment, solutions, and services required to conduct a power plant outage.

The full picture has also included revenue lost while plants were offline for maintenance — often exceeding $1 million per day for large power facilities. Combined with compliance challenges across numerous O&M functions, organizations have faced risks such as overdue projects, poor documentation, unclear compliance status, and resulting financial impacts. The challenge has not only been completing planned outage tasks, but doing so in ways that maximized availability, improved reliability, increased profitability, and ensured NERC and GADS compliance.

In this exclusive Energy Central PowerSession, planned outage subject matter experts from NextEra, Sargent & Lundy, and Integ Consulting came together for a dynamic discussion, sharing insights and real-world experiences on advancing outage execution and compliance processes.
