Power Plant Appraisals

REGULATORY CHANGES
Congress and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) have paved the way for a more open marketplace for electricity producers. Independent energy producers and providers are replacing the former "bundled" utilities in a new competitive arena. Deregulation, as determined by individual state regulatory commissions, is creating significant changes in the energy business coast to coast.

    WHY OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL OF YOUR POWER PLANT?

    BUYER/SELLER NEGOTIATIONS
    Moving power producing assets out of your utility rate base requires them to be sold at fair market value to minimize stranded costs.

    FEDERAL TAX AND ACCOUNTING
    Allocate the purchase price among facility assets: land, buildings, machinery and intangibles and determine the appropriate depreciation schedules for each asset category.

    PROPERTY TAX ANALYSIS
    Because of deregulation, both taxpayers and assessors need to know the accurate fair market value of their power plant properties.

    SALE/LEASEBACK ANALYSIS
    Satisfaction of Internal Revenue Service requirements for leased equipment appraisals. In particular, meeting the "20 percent test" for residual value/remaining useful life and determining commercial feasibility. Our analysis is also used for cross-border facility leases.

    INSURANCE
    Proof of loss appraisal for appropriate insurance coverage and claim support.

    RESIDUAL VALUE
    Determination of residual value at the expiration of the lease term for purchase price negotiations between the lessor and lessee.

    LITIGATION SUPPORT
    Expert witness testimony with experience before the U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. District Courts, Federal Communication Commission, Bankruptcy Courts, State Tax Appeal Courts, and the American Arbitration Association.
