Market Moves: May  Updated June 4, 2007

Genscape physically monitors approximately 300 of the most significant power plants and transmission paths throughout the United States. When a plant ramps up or trips, that information sounds an alert on your desktop within 45 to 90 seconds of its occurrence.

These alerts indicate that a plant has dropped or raised production past a certain reasonable level. Genscape also transmits color alerts on many plant outages, defining the cause of the event as well as the forecast for a return to production.
