How to re-think asset investment planning in the context of aging P&U infrastructures?
Published on August 30th, 2021
This webinar has now passed, but the topic is more relevant than ever. Kevin Lacombe, Team Lead, Conceptualization and Modelling at Direxyon Technologies, and Andrés Lozano, Account Executive, explored how real options valuation combined with a stochastic-combinatorial approach helps utilities plan capital investments for aging power and utility infrastructure.
Key takeaways from the discussion:
- Anticipate future needs of ageing infrastructure and achieve desired network performance.
- Include adverse events as part of capital planning.
- Assess uncertainty and evaluate large sets of potential outcomes to produce realistic investment scenarios.
