Waste-to-Energy, Waste Disposal and Water Treatment

NW Financial Group has been advising municipalities for years on the procurement of essential services, such as waste disposal and water treatment. For instance, NW Financial advised Union County during the restructuring of their waste-to-energy project in 1998. This restructuring enabled the County to avoid the default of $280 million of project debt, yet still provides for the long term disposal of the county’s waste at a cost that is below current market cost. NW Financial was recognized with the “Deal of the Year” award for this effort.

NW Financial Group has the expertise to offer sophisticated financial advisory services to municipalities seeking the best long term solution for waste disposal and water treatment. This is particularly true for municipalities using waste–to–energy facilities for waste disposal. Many of these projects are nearing the end of the initial service agreements with the companies that operate their projects. Since the circumstances today are very different from when the projects were initially developed, municipalities need to consider different options as the service agreements expire. NW Financial Group has the expertise to assist with this planning. NW Financial Group can also help municipalities restructure or modify existing service agreements to improve service or lower costs. NW Financial Group professionals have specific experience in over 20 years of structuring and managing waste-to-energy projects.

The same expertise can also be helpful to municipalities planning their long term water or waste water treatment needs. NW Financial Group has the ability to advise municipalities that are considering building new treatment facilities, improving existing facilities or privatizing existing facilities.
