As the market for energy related capital items continues to reflect increased pricing and limited availability, the procurement of these components locks down the equipment with the longest lead times. Dr. Michael D. Durham, President and CEO of ADA-ES, commented, "These contracts to initiate the construction of our AC plant represent a significant commitment by the Company to meet the needs of our customers in the power industry for mercury control. The decision by the Board to approve these contracts reflects its confidence that the Company will be able to finalize remaining contracts and equity financing issues in the near future."
Dr. Durham continued, "The Company and our project development team have successfully navigated through a number of external events and new issues and kept this project on track. Meanwhile, the mercury control market has solidified, as we had projected, creating a favorable business environment capable of supporting the financial returns necessary to justify our aggressive business strategy. We will keep our investors and customers abreast of progress on the construction of the plant."
