Failure to have a comprehensive, balanced asset management strategy in place will lead to unplanned down time and a subsequent reduction in revenue. However as the projected fuel electric power sector consumption is expected to increase substantially even with an estimated reduction in coal consumptionacross the electric power sector, the decision as to the way forward for the fossil fuel generation plants is at a at the point where action must be taken to facilitate the success and longevity of current investments and the stability of power supply.The 4th Annual Strategic Asset Management for Power Plants conferencewas developed with utility member input as well as industry expert guidance and will address the current challenges caused by both economic conditions andthe change in industry focus to encompass renewable sources of generation.Additionally, it will explore the shift from all out capacity production to more efficient ways of generation in fossil fuel- fired plants as capital costs grow andthe economy is in the worst shape since the Depression. This solution-orientedconference will focus on strategically analyzing industry turmoil to highlightimprovements in asset management strategies to yield financial and operationalbenefits through improved processes and cutting edge use of technology.
