In this new book from PennWell, author and industry expert Ann Chambers addresses what industry professionals need to know and understand about merchant power plants — including how they differ from “regular” plants, who’s building merchants (and where and why), and who’s considering trying their hand at merchant power. Ann also includes projections for the future of merchant power and a handy glossary. Ann is the author of a variety of industry-related titles and serves as an editor for two leading industry publications, Power Engineering and Power Engineering International.
