Meeting regulatory requirements of the power sector
Electric utilities and the partners that serve them must deal with increasing regulatory pressures. They must justify capital improvements and complete those improvements more quickly and for less cost. They must position themselves to respond to industry trends, including fuel switching and blending, smart grid and distributed power, as well as cyber security.
River Consulting offers vast experience in all aspects of handling the highly regulated materials used by the fossil power generation industry. We are skilled in the systems that make up utility facilities, including emissions controls, water treatment, steam and process piping, high temperature ducts, and instrumentation and controls.
