Powering Projects & Outages

The power industry is undergoing a global market shift. Environmental regulations and initiatives are changing from carbon-intensive, fossil fuel-based generation to cleaner sources like natural gas and renewable energy. Power producers are looking to industry leaders for resources to ensure the successful execution of these major transitions. Further, the need for stable and reliable power at the vast number of generating facilities around the world means that unit uptime and availability have never been more critical.

AP-Networks’ unique combination of industry data, innovative tools, and experience associate team make us the ideal resource for the power industry under normal circumstances, and particularly in the ongoing industry transition. We are optimally positioned to meet the evolving needs of any owner/operator in the power industry. 

One of the most important ways that we’ve helped reshape heavy industry is through the deployment of our innovative, cloud-based tools. AP-Networks’ Outage Network platform is particularly relevant to the power industry. Specifically designed to support outage teams through the implementation of outage preparation best practices, the Outage Network serves as a single point for your team to ensure outage readiness, continuous improvement, and competitive outcomes.

Our team of experienced associates also adds value to the power generation industry. Comprised of former industry professionals, we offer various services designed to help organizations on the road to peak performance. 

One such service is our Turnaround Assist Program (T-AP). Applied to the power industry, our T-AP provides objective, data-driven insights into the strategic decisions and tactical activities to be completed during the execution of a successful outage event. Our T-AP service can be applied to assess the outage readiness of virtually any type of power generation facility, including nuclear, thermal, combined cycle, co-generation, or renewable.

Power producers have also employed our Advanced Benchmarking Methodology (ABM) and Project Excellence and Assurance Consulting (PEAC) services to support their greenfield, brownfield, repowering, and coal-to-gas conversion projects.

Our Advanced Benchmarking Methodology is a scope-based methodology that delivers a reliable, accurate approach to benchmarking projects and a better understanding of project risks and costs. Our PEAC service provides project teams with tools and insights that help them plan and execute safe, event-free, predictable, and competitive projects. 

We tailored these unique services to provide owner-operators with the information, data, and confidence necessary to support large-scale investment decisions and identify areas where risk and opportunities exist. Our power industry clients routinely rely on AP-Networks as an essential element of their internal governance process.
