Committee Vision:
To be a leading industry resource for new fuels, gas, coal, and oil generation best practices, lessons learned and benchmarking information that delivers value to members.
Committee Mission:
The Thermal Generation Committee (formerly the Fossil Committee) provides a cost-effective forum where members share best demonstrated practices that continuously improve safety, environmental responsibility, reliability, and economics in new fuels, gas, coal, and oil fleet generation.
Committee Products:
The FGC products are:
- Thermal Generation Benchmarking Database (in development with scheduled completion of March 2024)
- Special-interest surveys of such topics as plant staffing, technology costs, O&M work practices, performance indicators, etc.
- The Thermal Generation Forum message board
- Presentations on innovative approaches and new technologies are shared to achieve operational excellence
Committee Services:
The TGC offers an agenda track at the spring and fall EUCG workshops. Agenda topics are selected and presented by TGC member organizations.
The TGC is developing a benchmarking framework that will focus on design, cost, performance, staffing, and safety data for thermal generating units. This framework is on track to be presented at the Spring 2024 workshop. A web-based application will allow members to upload data directly into the database; to create and download data sets based on standard or user-defined query criteria; and to print standard reports.
All EUCG members have access to a "members only" section of the EUCG website, where TGC members will find links to workshop presentations, the soon to be created TGC Database site, and to the Thermal Generation Forum on the EUCG message board. The Thermal Generation Forum, which is the most active on the EUCG message board, allows members to post questions and other requests for information.
