Gas Planning

Gas planning requires that the right supply of gas is available to meet an ever-changing demand.

Stop settling for workarounds, inaccurate gas dispatch, or spreadsheet models. Your stakeholders, regulators, and customers rely on cost-efficient, predictable gas supply from wellhead to burner tip.

PLEXOS Gas offers fundamental market simulation and portfolio optimization, providing insight from short-term dispatch schedules through long-term integrated resource plans.

By combining traditional resource planning requirements while also considering the emerging challenges, PLEXOS delivers winning results.

LNG

LNG is the present and future of global power and heat. Natural gas price fluctuations, greater supply options, and off-system market sales are already impacting every power and gas utility.

With the shale boom in the US, decommissioning of nuclear facilities in Japan, and energy growth in southeast Asia, LNG has become a global fuel that is actively replacing the legacy generation.

PLEXOS Gas gives you a suite of simulation tools to model contractual risk, and conduct siting studies to ensure market conditions support capacity, location, and timing.
