How dispatchable resources enable the clean energy transition

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

The plan is to expand the company’s GreenEdge software nationally and roll out its Consumer Insights and Industry Intelligence services to a broader client base.

The GreenEdge software tracks sales and allows BDS to generate actionable insights pulled from dispensary point-of-sale systems. The Consumer Insights Group then studies the behavior and psychographics of cannabis users, while the Industry Intelligence services enables the company to make accurate market-wide financial projections and help the industry make better-informed decisions.
