On Climate and Energy, The British Do Have Something to Smile About

The UK has continued to reduce its carbon emissions both total and per capita since 1971. Continuously. Even with an increasing population with higher tech requirements. That’s awesome.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Today I was intensely working with GPCM / GDS to isolate and alleviate some Demand constraints. I was moving between GDS and GPCM and within GPCM between zones, demand links, customers, locations and the Pipeline Use Report. I can’t tell you what a joy it was to be able to move so quickly between the various forms whether they be in form view or datasheet view. I know I’m picking up speed as I learn the database, but how you’ve got the database set up so you can drill down and move around and back so efficiently is really appreciated. I just thought I’d pass that along to you. Thank you.

As a senior fuel consultant, when I present gas forecast results to clients, regulators, and stakeholder groups, I’m confident that with GPCM® I’m offering the industry-standard model maintained by the industry’s best modeling team. I appreciate the responsive staff at RBAC and their constant efforts to make their product better. I also appreciate their intellectual integrity and transparent processes. My colleagues and I depend on the ease with which we can customize the inputs to GPCM. Its flexibility is a big asset to our fuel practice.
