Electric Generating Unit Benchmarking

 

Innovative Business Engineering (IBE) is an advocate of the US electric utilities’ efforts to provide affordable, reliable electric service and cleaner air by:

 

·          Publishing quarterly reports that compare relative performance of electric generating units that measure costs, reliability and environmental impacts;

·          Providing quarterly benchmarking reports and analysis of individual generating units to assist utilities in measuring progress in achieving environmental goals and objectives relative to their competition; and

·          Recognizing outstanding achievements and facilitate applications that are cost-effective, improve reliability and reduce environmental impacts.

 

The regulatory reports and EPA data reflect the effectiveness of environmental programs and control improvements by coal-based electric generating industry. Air quality has improved significantly and power plants have reduced emissions dramatically under the Clean Air Act, and electric utilities are spending billions of dollars on environmental measures that improve operating efficiencies and lower emissions.

 

IBE’s Quarterly Report on Performance of Coal-Fired Generating Units and benchmarking services provide utility executives and plant managers an independent source of information to measure their current status relative to others. The facts demonstrate that the electric generating industry performance continues to improve and exceed environmental regulatory requirements.

 

IBE Benchmarking Reports use rolling 12 months of regulatory reported operational, financial and market replacement costs to measure:

·          Reliability Service Factors;

·          Coal Cost $/MMBtu;

·          Efficiency Btu/kwh;

·          SO2 Emissions; and

·          NOx Emissions.

Benchmarking reports are distributed via e-mail with IBE certified bound analysis mailed as an independent record for due diligence and audit review.
