OUR NAMESAKE:

Red Team Power derives its name from an age-old military practice that is designed to challenge and improve battle plans. Red teams use contrarian thinking to improve outcomes. We embrace both the mindset and approach so much that we that we made it our name. We “Red Team” all that we do to make sure we are ready for every market situation, opportunity, and challenge. We use it to improve safety, our culture and employees, operations, and returns for our investors.

OUR VISION:

Creating a dynamic, industry leading business focused on prolonging the operating life of critical generating resources to serve key U.S. energy markets.

OUR MISSION:

To purchase through win / win transactions select thermal generating assets, structure creative offtake agreements to meet partner’s needs, and operate those assets safely, economically, and reliably to ensure grid resilience and affordability.

Our Beliefs

The strength and vitality of the U.S. economy requires affordable and reliable energy.

A smooth and economic energy transition requires more time than anticipated by policy makers.

A reliable grid requires an “all of the above'' strategy including coal as a firm-fuel dispatchable resource. 

We have multiple ways to optimize the operations of coal plants extending plant life.

We have the right team, investor, and partners to be the best owner and operator of thermal generating plants.

We believe that we can navigate the complex operational, regulatory, and risk management landscape to the benefit of our employees, partners, communities, and investors.

Operating Landscape

US electric grid is facing unprecedented challenges of balancing reliability, economics, and reducing carbon intensity.

Continued coal plant retirements.

Replacement generation is largely not dispatchable.

Significant load growth from data centers, AI, and electrification.

Growing recognition of the hidden costs of renewable build including investment in transmission, energy storage, and uncapped tax incentives.

Continued NIMBY issues related to gas transportation, electric transmission, and likely CO2 infrastructure
