Unique Insights

Our team brings unique insights on transportation and logistics factors affecting each of the major US coal producing regions, including NAPP, CAPP, Illinois Basin, and Powder River Basin.  As with some other bulk commodities, coal transportation costs often match or exceed the cost of the product itself, requiring cost-efficient delivery on a ton/BTU basis.

PLG has helped major coal fired utilities mitigate transportation costs as part of long-term corporate strategy.
