Energy projects nearing 10,000 MW in the northeastern United States.
Alternative Energy &
Renewable Development
Given the reliability and cost benefits of diversifying the nation's fuel mix, we continue to pursue the licensing of clean coal and non-traditional fuels, like biomass/biofuel and resource recovery, to reduce dependence on oil as well as natural gas.

ESS Group, Inc. specializes in environmental and engineering services for energy and power development projects. We have substantial expertise and experience in the licensing of power generation and electric and gas transmission and storage facilities. Our comprehensive capabilities address the needs of alternative and renewable generation technologies, as well as traditional fuel power facilities. ESS has prepared environmental studies and permit applications for fluidized bed coal-fired cogeneration and integrated coal gasification combined cycle projects.
The ESS Energy Team has successfully permitted facilities throughout the northeastern United States. ESS has extensive experience with federal, state, and local regulatory processes and has developed solid working relationships with regulatory agencies. This experience covers the full project life cycle–from site selection, permitting, construction, and operational environmental compliance, to assistance with decommissioning.
To ensure energy reliability, ESS is increasingly working with our clients to evaluate dedicated, inside-the-fence generation and combined heat and power projects. Small-scale turbines, solar, wind, and fuel cells can all be viable options. ESS has licensed 1.8 MW combustion turbines for a manufacturing facility, a 1.9 MW cogeneration facility, a 6 MW combined heat and power unit and 5 kW fuel cell and a 660 kW wind turbine at educational institutions.
ESS experience includes licensing for greenfield projects, the re-powering of existing generation assets, and system upgrades of existing transmission and storage assets. ESS supports operating energy facilities with required written plans, monitoring and reporting, day-to-day compliance assurance and permit renewals, and regularly conducts environmental due diligence for energy facility asset acquisition.
