Power Plants, Renewable Energy, and Utilities

We have over 30 years of experience appraising hundreds of power plants throughout the United States and abroad. Today, repowering coal-fired power plants with either natural gas or biomass is getting particular attention for power plant appraisal expertise. Also, output from wind, solar and other alternative energy projects is growing faster than conventional plants and requires special knowledge that few firms have. If you are looking for a power plant appraisal firm that can quickly understand your unconventional project financing, acquisition, purchase price allocation, litigation, or accounting needs, please give us a call and request a proposal from us at no cost.

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.
