Coal Power Plant

Coal fired power plant developers face increasingly stringent environmental regulations, with new major regulatory initiatives from the EPA affecting air emissions, wastewater discharges, and combustion byproducts.  Due to the carbon intensive nature of coal fired generation, developers are also impacted by any type of carbon legislation, cap and tax or cap and trade, which significantly impact the cost to operate existing coal fired generation and the development of new coal fired generation.

At E & E, we bring our comprehensive knowledge of the environmental and regulatory constraints associated with CO2 sequestration and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects and our strategic permitting experience to every project we work on. Our multidisciplinary teams perform acquisition due diligence on existing coal fired generation plants, including analysis of the financial impact of carbon legislation and sequestration options, in addition to tradition environmental risks and liabilities.

Drawing on our 40-year history in the energy industry, our advanced technical expertise enables us to evaluate emerging technologies quickly and address future requirements as they develop, allowing our clients to make well-informed decisions in an ever-changing regulatory environment.
