Everything about Teco Energy totally explained
TECO Energy, Inc. is an
S&P 500 electrical power company located in
Tampa,
Florida.
"TECO" is short for "Tampa Electric Co."
Environmental Record
Researchers at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst have identified TECO Energy as the 37th-largest corporate producer of
air pollution in the United States, with roughly 11 million pounds of toxic chemicals released annually into the air. Major pollutants indicated by the study include
hydrochloric acid,
sulfuric acid,
chromium compounds,
arsenic compounds, and
nickel compounds.
In 2000, TECO Energy was fined $3.5 million for making changes to emissions producing facilities without installing new updated
pollution controls. This lead to the switch from
coal to
natural gas in one of its plants by 2004 and optimization of
pollution controls in another. These changes were enacted to drastically cut harmful
emissions, notably
sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen oxide pollutants.
TECO Energy proposed a $330 million emissions control project, which will make one of its power stations one of the cleanest coal-fired power plants in nation. The renovation is set to be completed in 2010 and will reduce
nitrogen oxide emissions at the plant by approximately 85 percent from levels recorded in 1998.
Since 1998, TECO has invested $1.2 billion in improvements to their systems, including the repowering of one coal-fired station to
natural gas and the addition of state-of-the-art
pollution controls on a second. They have a long history of working cooperatively with government agencies to improve systems and comply with regulations.
