This three-year effort started in FY17 with the primary objective of detailing the environmental compliance costs and lessons learned from U.S. based MHK projects that have gone through the permitting and compliance process. The project goal is to find ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the permitting and compliance process that reduce deployment uncertainties and associated risks/costs; ultimately encouraging investment in MHK projects. The project team is composed of Sandia National Laboratories, H. T. Harvey & Associates, Integral Consulting, and Kearns & West. Step one of the project process, collect data to determine permitting and compliance costs, was a focus during 2017, but is an ongoing process to ensure the project team is working with the most recent and accurate data as possible. Currently, the project team is focusing on step two of the project process, identify cost reduction pathways. Step three, develop cost reduction strategies, will follow during Fall 2018 and Winter 2019. Each step is envisioned as an iterative approach working with industry and regulators to best meet the project goal.
