European power generating companies signing up for Cologne summit

Representatives from more than 20 power generating companies, including some of the biggest players in Europe, have registered to attend the Solomon Associates 2010 Executive European Benchmarking Summit, to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Cologne, Germany, June 22-23.

Now in its third year, Solomon Associates’ European summit is designed to help power generation companies leverage company and industry performance data, as well as larger industry trends, to enhance work practices and business processes. The conference will feature presentations on topics including:

  • How carbon trading and renewables are changing the way CCGT and coal plants are utilized;
  • How to calculate the financial implications of maintenance risk, translating downtime into lost revenues;
  • How several current Solomon Associates clients have utilized benchmarking data to make specific performance improvements.

“The European summit has been a valuable venue for power generators seeking to drive efficiencies and increase their margins,” said Ed Platt, vice president of power for Solomon Associates. “At the request of attendees, we have added to this year’s agenda 90-minute, one-on-one consulting sessions with a Solomon Associates expert, to discuss an issue of the attendee’s choosing on a confidential basis. Slots for these sessions are filling up quickly, however, so it important to schedule one soon.”
