Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • Increased labor and subcontractor costs on certain EPC projects.
  • Slowdown in new business awards to GPS potentially due to uncertainty surrounding regulatory support for coal, increased renewable energy capacity, and improvements in renewable energy storage solutions.
  • Pipeline approval delays due to environmental activism.
  • Goodwill impairment at TRC due to decreased revenues and operating losses.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Cautious optimism about future project awards and revenue growth.
  • Securing new EPC contracts (e.g., Reidsville Energy Center).
  • Pursuit of new construction projects and investments in project development.
  • Goodwill impairment loss recorded at TRC.
