Genscape Releases Power Version 2.3 with Custom Alerts

LOUISVILLE, KY, Monday 4/5/04 - Genscape Inc., the nation’s first and only supplier of real-time power plant output and transmission status information has released Genscape Power version 2.3, which significantly increases the amount of data and features available to the company’s expanding customer base.

POWER VERSION 2.3

Power 2.3 enables subscribers to personalize their Genscape Power browsers and employ greater control over the plant alerts they receive while maintaining the ease-of-use and accuracy on which Genscape users have come to rely. Power 2.3 also marks the advent of Genscape’s Individual Transmission Line Data Report. This report offers a closer look at the current flows on critical transmission lines across the U.S., allowing users to more accurately predict when and where congestion may occur.

“Our customers have asked for more choices,” Said Sean O’Leary, Genscape CEO, “and that’s why we’re proud to offer Power 2.3. Genscape’s reputation is built on our ability and willingness to respond to customer requests.” The Individual Transmission Line Data Report, according to O’Leary, offers “a tremendous added value to Genscape’s service, since transmission congestion on individual lines is critical information to both the wholesale markets, and the regulatory arena.” Genscape currently monitors over 1,200 individual transmission lines across North America.

CUSTOM ALERT MANAGER

Along with the release of Power 2.3, Genscape has simultaneously released its Custom Alert Manager. This add-on module puts Genscape’s proprietary alert logic in the customers’ hands, allowing Genscape subscribers to set plant and transmission interconnection alerts based on scenarios and thresholds of their own design. Customers can adjust alert sensitivity and boundaries on over 275 power plants and strategic transmission points, with a range of options offered for specific points or groups of facilities.

“Different customers have different sensitivities to market events,” said Mike McAuliffe, Genscape Vice President of Sales. “The Custom Alert Manager Tool will allow them to set up their own alerting logic as well as view the existing Genscape Alerts we publish on a daily basis.”
