Over the past years it has become increasingly important for Norwegian power producers to be aware of the central European markets. High and low winds can rapidly change Continental prices, leading to a knock-on effect on Norwegian wholesale prices. Without a reliable forecast, Norwegian producers can be caught out by these changes.
To ensure our clients can mitigate these fluctuations, Volt Power Analytics provide small-scale hydropower capture rates – site specific future capture prices using our detailed customer price model for the Nordic countries and Continental Europe.
We provide you, the power producers, site specific analysis for hydro assets, with hourly simulation of variations due to consumption, wind and solar power, and variations due to hydrological situation in the hydropower systems.
How We Create Value
As part of the Hydropower Capture Rates service, estimates are provided, including an insight into the revenue stream of their small hydro portfolio, both on average and across the weather spreads.
You will be supplied with an overview of the variations in income across the 30 weather scenarios simulated in our model, as well as the impact of low versus high fuel and emissions price scenarios on the economics of the assets in the portfolio.
This analysis can either be done as a one-time study, or part of a continuous analysis of the performance of a hydro site. Get in contact to find out more!
