MAKING A BUILD VS. BUY DECISION

Operational and Financial Impacts

For many companies, there are few events that have a more significant operational and financial impact than purchasing or building a new generating facility.

Which means that for any company facing a build vs. buy decision, a tremendous amount of analytical work has to be done to know which decision is most appropriate.

Experienced APM Structuring (Quantitative Analysis) Staff

At APM we have an experienced Structuring staff that can provide a thorough probabilistic analysis – using sophisticated portfolio modeling software and state-of-the-art Monte Carlo simulation – of the cost and risk implications of building a new power plant versus purchasing an existing facility.

APM Transmission and Fuels Teams

The Transmission and Fuels teams at APM can augment the decision-making process by evaluating asset location and infrastructure requirements.  These are an important component of the overall cost and risk associated with any new generating plant.

And with the support of our dedicated Origination team, constantly looking at medium-term to long-term power deals, the build versus buy  decision-making process can be thoroughly informed by a knowledge of current market pricing trends.
