Programme Committee

Performance of Generating Plant

This well-established and internationally recognised Committee works on improving power plant performance worldwide. Market structures, technologies, environmental standards, and other factors are changing the way the electricity sector operates and are posing new challenges for power plant operators around the world.  New strategies, greater collaboration within the industry, and new tools are required to make it possible to collect, analyse, and leverage plant performance initiatives.

The Committee's main objective is to promote international data exchange and best practices for generating plant performance and to achieve the most effective use of generation assets and energy resources worldwide. The new generating plant performance indicators database is at the centre of the process.

A PGP report was released in early 2008 of the findings of the last work cycle's activities. Case studies are also available which highlight examples of best practice.

Data collection is available through the online PGP Database (PGP login required; contact the London Office for more information).

An archive of 2005-2007 Agendas and Minutes is availabe (login required).

Further details will be posted once the Committee has held initial meetings.
