Commercial Operations

Our commitment to operational excellence keeps the lights on across the country. Our Commercial Operations teams maximize the value of our fleet while efficiently and economically dispatching generation assets to meet our customers’ needs.

WHOLESALE

Calpine leverages a clean, modern, efficient and flexible fleet to provide power, capacity, cogeneration, renewable integration and ancillary services to wholesale customers that include utilities, cooperatives, retail electric providers, power marketers and manufacturers.  

Environmentally Responsible Products

Energy from Calpine’s clean and reliable fleet helps our customers minimize their greenhouse gas footprints. Power from our geothermal facilities at The Geysers allows our customers in California to meet regulatory obligations to utilize renewable energy through the purchase of reliable, baseload geothermal power.

Flexible Products

Our ability to cycle energy centers quickly allows us to respond to customers’ fluctuating demands. Our diverse portfolio of baseload, intermediate and peaking energy facilities enables us to provide a suite of products and ancillary services that can be shaped to match individual customer needs, including contracts of varying duration.

Integration Products

As reliance on intermittent renewable resources increases, quick-responding and reliable generation becomes critical for maintaining grid reliability. Calpine’s fleet of flexible, natural gas-fired energy facilities helps integrate renewables into our nation’s power supply by quickly ramping up or scaling back production to balance peaks and dips in solar and wind generation. We are also poised to offer customers unique integration products combining renewables with existing gas assets.

Efficient & Cost-Effective Products

The superior efficiency of our combined-cycle fleet – combined with a low natural gas price environment – places Calpine among the lowest-cost fossil generation providers. In addition, we operate the nation’s largest fleet of facilities that produce steam as well as power to serve manufacturing and processing companies.
