Decommissioning, Decontamination and Demolition of Power Plants

Winston & Strawn and Environmental Resources Management (ERM) hosted a joint webinar on power plant Decommissioning, Decontamination and Demolition (“DDD”) on Thursday, September 6, 2012.

This presentation discussed the regulatory drivers associated with coal plant shutdown decision-making as well as repowering due to the low cost of natural gas. The speakers also discussed the strategy around DDD’ing a plant, the risks and benefits, as well as the legal issues around land and liability transfers. Specifically, the webinar addressed:

• Current and Future Air Regulations Driving Shutdowns and Repowering
• Other Environmental Requirements and Land Transfer Liabilities to Consider in Repurposing
• Know the Type and Value of Your Assets & Maximize the Return on Your Assets
• Keys to a Successful DDD Project & Common Missteps

 Winston & Strawn environmental partner Eleni Kouimelis was joined by Karl Klotzbach of ERM.
