| The Third Offering in the Genscape Suite of Weekly Coal Reports
Louisville, KY, Tuesday May 10, 2006 – Genscape
Inc., the nation’s first and only supplier of real-time power plant
output and transmission status information has recently launched a weekly
report tracking changes in the coal inventory held by power plants.
The Genscape Weekly Coal Stock Change Report addresses a key information
need in energy markets, answering the question about the amount of coal
held in reserve by power generators. The coal stock change report relies
on proprietary real-time information that Genscape gathers on coal burn
and coal deliveries to arrive at the change in stockpiles.
The Weekly Genscape Coal Burn Report, published since 2004, has shown
pinpoint accuracy (within 2% of the EIA coal burn figures) in estimating
coal consumption in the power sector. The Weekly Genscape Coal Transport
Report delivers weekly updates on the amount of coal shipped by rail in
the country, and includes detailed shipment information by mine and plant,
and also sums up the figures by region and coal basin.
The combination of these two data inputs in a stock pile model allows
Genscape to deliver insights into coal stock changes on a weekly basis.
“The energy market is increasingly focused on the fundamentals
of coal-fired generation” says Abudi Zein, Senior VP, Genscape Data
Resources, “as strained logistics and just-in-time inventory management
have created the potential for disruptions that can quickly ripple through
the entire energy complex”.
“Interest in all aspects of the Coal Market (supply, burn, delivery
capabilities and constraints) is at an all time high”, said Mike
McAuliffe, Genscape’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing, “and
this report will fill an information gap on the U.S. coal complex which
only Genscape is able to provide”. McAuliffe also noted that, in
addition to the traditional coal and power users of the Genscape coal
information, other subscribers include natural gas traders, fundamental
and technical energy analysts, and investors in energy equity and debt
securities.
