About Andrew Kramer

All opinions within this profile are my own and not necessarily indicative of the views of any company I work for. How often have you heard that transitioning to renewable energy is easy? Well, my friends, I can tell you it isn\'t. If it was, I wouldn\'t be working in this field. Please join me as I explore this complicated topic and its risks and reality. I will be diving into topics including, but not limited to, renewable energy, resource planning, transmission reliability, and energy economics. My posts relate to the engineering component of utility and resource planning but will always work to break complicated topics into summary that anyone can follow. Please reach out to me with questions or thoughts (commenting on a post is best) and I will always make sure to help you understand the REAL story behind the popular tales we hear so often in the energy industry.

Experience

   I will be working to help our clients understand the pricing impacts and risks associated with potential renewable and other generation options. I will be utilizing a premier market modeling tool, PLEXOS, and my energy market background to bring value to our customers. Analysis I perform include LMP forecasting (both energy and congestion), curtailment risk, and capacity expansion impact analysis. This work is fully capable of including carbon tax/cap, variable fuel forecasts, stochastics, scenario/sensitivity analysis, and dispatch/commitment modeling.
