In the world of power generation analytics, clarity is everything. Yet for years, energy analysts, asset managers and capital providers have had to navigate a maze of fragmented data sources just to answer these simple questions:
- How much power did this generator actually produce?
- What energy price did this generator realize?
- How much did this generator pay for fuel?
That changes today.
Fragmented Data, Frustrated Analysts
Historically, understanding generator-level power production alongside power and fuel pricing meant stitching together multiple EIA tables followed by layering in nodal energy prices and historical hourly generation to home in on key drivers of power plant valuations. Analysts were forced to:
- Manually aggregate plant- and generator-level data
- Struggle with inconsistent reporting across assets with varying degrees of granularity
- Spend hours reconciling data just to make apples-to-apples comparisons
This patchwork approach not only consumed valuable time—it introduced risk. Inaccurate benchmarks, flawed forecasts and missed opportunities are all too common.
One Table, Total Clarity
The new Power Generation table in PRISM® is a game-changer. It consolidates, cleans and enhances raw data into a single, unified dataset—providing generator-level power generation across the entire U.S. This unified dataset is further enhanced by utilizing hourly energy price data and hourly generation profiles aggregated to a monthly level to understand both overall power generation and revenue generation.
No more guesswork. No more stitching together tables. Just clean, consistent, complete data.
What Makes the New Power Generation Workflows So Powerful?
Here’s what makes the Power Generation the most reliable and actionable power generation dataset on the market:
- Unified dataset: Combines and cleans raw data into one consistent, generator-level view for all assets.
- Integrated LMP data: Analyze plant-level generation side by side with LMP data in a single table—no more multi-table workflows. This includes both around the clock energy prices and realized energy prices.
- Monthly metrics: Access monthly records for generation, capacity factor, heat rate, fuel consumed, average energy prices, realized energy prices and realized fuel prices to enable benchmarking in seconds.
Save hours of analysis. PRISM® gives you the flexibility to benchmark fleets on utilization and energy price realization in seconds.
Why It Matters to Power Market Stakeholders
- By eliminating the pain of manual data prep and cleaning, the Power Production Table helps you:
- Benchmark assets faster and more accurately
- Reduce manual effort and eliminate redundant workflows
- Improve confidence in forecasts and investment decisions
- Save time and focus on strategy, not data wrangling
Reveal plant-level performance trends over time. Drill down to individual plant performance to understand trends through time on utilization, realized energy prices and realized fuel prices.
Who Benefits From the New Power Generation Table?
Whether you’re managing portfolios, forecasting markets or optimizing plant operations, this solution unlocks critical value for:
- Energy analysts: Get to insights faster with less manual cleanup.
- Asset managers: Benchmark performance across assets with confidence.
- Market strategists: Model generation and load dynamics with ease.
