Operate generating stations
How operate generating stations are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 20% of Operate generating stations is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, the score is derived directly from the process name and industry lens ('Operate generating stations' within Electric Power Generation). Operating utility-scale power infrastructure fundamentally centers on managing physical assets, industrial machinery, and field operations, placing the core value step solidly in the physical band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Operate generating stations sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Operate generating stations inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: Grid demand signals or a daily load dispatch schedule require the generating station to produce electricity.
- Receive unit commitment and dispatch instructions from the grid operator
- Start prime movers and adjust operating parameters to meet target generation
- Synchronize the generator with the electrical grid
- Monitor plant systems for safety, emissions, and efficiency constraints
- Adjust active and reactive power output to maintain grid stability
- Log operating data and equipment health indicators
- Execute safe shutdown or transition to standby mode when dispatched off
Outcome: Electricity is safely generated, synchronized, and dispatched to the transmission grid at the requested load levels.
