Asset Optimization Benefits Questionnaire
To find out if asset optimization is appropriate for you, take a moment to answer the following ten questions concerning your system’s power supply portfolio. Please check the Yes or No box next to each question.
Yes	No
		1)	Are you concerned with the current mix of your present power supply portfolio?
		2)	Are you at all concerned about specific terms and conditions of your power supply contracts (e.g., fuel indices, demand charges)?
		3)	Are you concerned about your potential exposures to rising fuel costs?
		4)	Are you concerned with unit outage risks?
		5)	Are you concerned about a lack of diversity in your portfolio (e.g., is a significant percentage of your load obligations being met by one generation unit or entitlement)?
		6)	Are you concerned about system assets that could be more fully leveraged to reduce costs or deliver value?
		7)	Are you concerned about impending changes in the capacity or transmission markets?
		8)	Are you interested in identifying ways to reduce your power supply costs and minimize their impact on your reserves and/or retail tariff?
		9)	Are you interested in better understanding the power supply options available to you and your system?
		10)	Are you interested in knowing more about the emerging wholesale markets without investing an inordinate amount of time?
If you checked the Yes box next to three or more of the previous questions then you would likely benefit from an Entitlement Evaluation and, potentially, an Asset Optimization Program.  For more information, please e-mail:  jmuro@energynewengland.com
