Engineering & Construction Strategy
• Utilize an “owner’s engineer” philosophy
– Centralized technical staff for fossil & hydro power plant development and
support
– 2/3 full-time employees; 1/3 supplemental & temporary personnel
– Outside engineering and construction companies utilized to augment workforce
• Execute capital projects and provide O&M support for
operating companies including Southern Power
– Leverage economies of scale on new build and large retrofit programs
– Fleet-wide operations and maintenance support
• Deploy and advance Technology (e.g., SCRs, Scrubbers,
IGCC, Biomass, etc.)
– Work closely with R&EA on testing and transition to full-scale development

Kemper County IGCC
•
The Kemper County IGCC Project will use
TRIG™ technology. The facility will have
less nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide and
mercury emissions than traditional
pulverized coal plants. Additionally, the
facility plans to capture and store 50
percent of its carbon dioxide emissions,
making it one of the first IGCC electric
generating plants in the country with that
capability. Kemper County will produce 582
megawatts of power.
