At the conclusion of the proceeding, both the Oregon Office of Energy and environmental intervenors agreed that the Klamath Cogeneration Project should win the exemption based on the climate change mitigation portfolio TC+ES had developed. As summarized in one environmental intervenor’s testimony: "[t]he evidence is clear that [KCP] put together the most comprehensive proposal that supports the policy goals on a state, national and global level."

TC+ES’s work with the City of Klamath Falls is just one example of TC+ES’s work on behalf of clients siting power-generating facilities. TC+ES has been involved in the siting of more than 2000 MW of projects in California, including solar, geothermal, biomass, gas cogeneration, and coal generation facilities.

 

In their own words:

"When the City of Klamath Falls got involved in a first-of-its-kind permitting proceeding in which several different IPPs would compete on climate change mitigation grounds, I had to make sure we had the best policy and technical people on our side. We knew the competition for the permit would be tough, and there was no doubt in my mind that Trexler Climate + Energy Services, Inc. was the firm to go with. We knew of TC+ES's track record in the field, and knew they were highly regarded not only by the private sector, but by government and environmental interests as well. We knew TC+ES would bring to the table its extensive national and international experience in both climate change policy and projects. As I expected, TC+ES designed for the Klamath Cogeneration Project a carbon offset portfolio that far surpassed in detail, diversity, and depth what any other applicant offered in the proceeding. TC+ES's extensive analysis, testimony, and expert witness support to Klamath during the proceeding was invaluable and instrumental in our obtaining the permit from the facility siting council."
