ECONOMIC CONSULTING ASSOCIATES

ECA advised a private PV plant developer on the regulatory, market and commercial risks of an embedded PV generation unit associated with a large mine. The team modelled required revenues of the state owned utility, NamPower, on the basis of a power market simulation and varying power generation development scenarios. As part of the work, ECA’s in-house dispatch model Wairoa was used to assess hourly and seasonal load patterns and dispatch.
