America’s natural gas glut and the imposition of EPA constraints on using coal for power generation have inspired a number of utilities across the country to convert their plants from coal to gas or build new ones altogether. The trend has spawned a boom in gas-fired power plant construction, benefitting providers of plans, pipe, tanks and insulation.
Power Engineering tracks the details, and reports on when and where new gas projects are scheduled to be built. The magazine’s most recent issue compiles news on multiple power construction projects in several states, including Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Connecticut, New Jersey and Oregon. This should prove bullish for vendors of industrial insulation.
