Flynn RCI has extensive experience in generating asset valuation, market design, regulatory and litigation support services, transmission grid planning, utilities resource planning and energy price risk management. We also assist in resource planning analyses and resource procurement processes, including evaluation of the economic and reliability trade-offs of proposed generation and transmission projects.
