Public demand for a cleaner environment translates to more restrictive regulations which result in increased risks for the energy industry. To be successful, utilities must control the risks associated with penalties, defense costs and potentially negative public relations while managing the costs of doing so. This is true during all stages of project development – from initial planning through financing and development, into project completion and operation.

Any way you look at it, dealing with environmental issues is tricky. In most cases, there are several layers of bureaucracy to maneuver through, regulations are constantly evolving and technology is rapidly advancing. At the same time, public demand for change continues to intensify as new topics like carbon footprints, mercury emissions, water conservation and EMF become the focus. The most effective way to control these pressures is to align your organization with an expert company that can manage projects effectively and bring technical and economic expertise to bear to help you plan effectively and avoid unnecessary costs and activities.

R. W. Beck clients are successful in meeting the challenges of the current regulatory climate, which is often driven by unfunded mandates, because they are able to better manage risk.

Our clients take advantage of our due diligence analyses, air and water quality analyses, pollution control technology assessments, regulatory permitting analyses and expert testimony capabilities to help their facilities become cleaner and more effective. Each of these services helps to garner public support, address regulatory issues and keep projects on schedule and within budget.
