FGD WORLD MARKET

UPDATE

August 2005

Large Number of FGD Contracts Decided including 4,400 MW for Chiyoda

…..Utility companies are moving up their scrubber installation dates to take advantage of the higher allowance prices. A number of awards or decisions have been recently made. The following information is all second hand and was not confirmed by either the utility or the supplier. Nevertheless each represents information received from at least two reliable sources.  Another caveat is that decisions can change. The MidAmerican project is a good example where the selected scrubber vendor and client could not agree on terms and another vendor eventually was awarded the contract.

Some system vendors are unhappy with the fact that we are reporting awards which are still in negotiation. We therefore want to make clear that we are only reporting the information which is commonly known among the failed bidders and component suppliers. It is important for all parties to have as much of the latest information as possible even though it is subject to change.

4,400 MW of scrubbers at AEP plants are slated for Black & Veatch, which is offering the Chiyoda design.  B&W has also been reportedly selected by AEP for Amos 1, 2, and 3.   

…..Babcock Power: No announcements have been made and possibly no contracts signed on LG&E Ghent and LG&E E.W. Brown stations, but we are told that Babcock Power is the only remaining bidder with the last contender recently eliminated.
