Generation Services


Greater competition has made effective control of power generation costs increasingly important. Over a span of more than 15 years, GDS has helped numerous power plant co-owners and non-utility generators reduce costs and achieve improved performance by identifying inefficiencies in power plant construction, operation and maintenance practices, and providing practical solutions.

Our services include:
  • Power Plant Project Development
  • Plant Appraisals and Feasibility Studies
  • Licensing, Construction, and Operational Analysis
  • Construction and Operational Monitoring Programs
  • Market Dispatch Analysis
  • Operating Budget and Benchmarking Analysis
  • Litigation Support and Expert Testimony
  • Regulatory Support
  • Distributed Generation Options

GDS offers comprehensive market analysis of available generating technologies for electric utilities or other entities seeking to determine which, if any, generating option best suits their needs. We additionally provide design oversight and fuel procurement services in the early, developmental stages of generating projects.

GDS also offers plant construction and operational monitoring programs to help clients achieve comprehensive management oversight and favorable resolution of co-owned plant dispatch, fuel supply, and cost allocation issues. We've gained national recognition for our success in providing expert testimony in court cases and regulatory proceedings involving complex utility system dispatch, power plant construction, fuel procurement, and operating issues.
