Utility planners need a rate-case-ready view while cost and dispatch assumptions remain distributed.
Grid resource planners need traceable comparisons while Manufacturing Finance must avoid presenting certainty the underlying assumptions do not support.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I rebuilt the comparison twice this week because every answer lived in a different file.”
Valentina Ferrari · Grid Resource Planner
She prepares capacity options for a utility resource plan and must explain cost and reliability assumptions to finance and regulatory stakeholders.
What is at stake
Three utility discussions required separate manual comparisons of duration, project cost, and reliability value. You have to weigh a useful first package against exposing assumptions that have not earned customer-level confidence.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- planner clarity vs. assumption precision
- rate pressure vs. multi-day reliability value
- reusable workflow vs. pilot scope
- cost transparency vs. commercial flexibility
