Planning & Development

Over the past five years, Sargent & Lundy has prepared feasibility studies and cost estimates for over 100 new electric generating facilities. The units studied ranged in size from 138 to 1000 MW. The scope of these studies included site arrangement drawings, cost estimates, layout of major systems, and evaluation of licensing and permit issues.

Feasibility studies

Our feasibility studies typically include all or portions of the following activities:

• Review and comparison of available generation technologies
• Development of preliminary site and plant arrangements for the different technologies
• Development of capital cost estimates and economic analyses
• Preliminary project schedule
