Excerpts from an interview with Michael Pope of Pope, Evans, and Robbins (PER) emphasizes the advantages of using coal to produce utility and industrial steam, but difficulties in raising capital have kept energy managers from pushing fuel conversion as a top priority. PER is responding with financing arrangements that take advantage of investment tax credits and accelerated depreciation to enable clients to convert without a capital outlay. Third-party financing is especially beneficial to industrial companies that can't make full use of incentives. PER uses the same criteria as bank and other lending institutions in evaluating potential clients. New legislation to modify the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act will be beneficial to cogeneration. (DCK)
