Synapse Energy Economics — Power-system economic and dispatch analysis library: plant-level unit-commitment and merit-order reconstruction, above-market generation cost quantification, rider and cost-allocation attribution by sponsoring utility, plus the underlying electricity price, heat rate, heat-rate-adjusted fuel cost and emissions inputs used to rebuild how generation should have been dispatched. Boutique but high-leverage: roughly 61 staff and about 37.6M revenue, punchng far above weight because its models ingest plant-level operating data that is otherwise confidential and its findin…

Synapse-energy offers (Fundamental, Alternative, ESG) — Several hundred expert reports, model runs and supporting datasets accumulated since the mid-1990s; a single audit testimony in this case runs over 30 pages with multiple figure and table sets, and each proceeding consumes a distinct model build with hourly-interval dispatch data for the plants under review.

Building and validating generation dispatch and merit-order models, training models that predict prudence or cost-recovery outcomes in utility regulatory proceedings, benchmarking plant operating efficiency against dispatch-optimal counterfactuals, quantifying stranded-asset and retiree-risk exposure for legacy generation, and regulator-facing benchmarking of above-market contract costs
