An opportunity to build in energy efficiency?
Having a coal fired generation plant come into MATS compliance can be a daunting and expensive undertaking. Retrofits may be so expensive that decommissioning is preferred. Thanks to natural gas becoming plentiful and inexpensive, both recently and for the foreseeable future, conversion is now an option for meeting environmental regulations.
Conversion is the process of switching the fuel source of coal fired plants to natural gas for a fraction of the price of retrofitting. In addition, using natural gas instantly allows plants to come under compliance with many regulatory bodies and policies.
