Decker Energy International (DEI) was founded in 1982 to enter the newly-created independent power business, as federal legislation began to open up the electric power industry to competition.  Our business objective is to develop, acquire and own energy generating facilities that meet the needs of the modern electrical market by providing reliable, low-cost power with a keen sensitivity to the environment.  Decker Energy International, Inc. is a privately-held Florida corporation, which is headquartered in Winter Park, Florida.

Experienced.  Decker Energy was originally created to take advantage of the broad energy experience that several of our people had with Dow Chemical, a recognized innovator in the energy field and the largest industrial power generator in the United States.  In the 27 years of our existence we have developed and own a number of innovative, award-winning power generating facilities across the United States.  We are actively seeking opportunities to develop new greenfield projects and to acquire existing ones, especially troubled projects which we can turn around.

Knowledgeable.  Decker Energy has broad knowledge in all aspects of large, complex energy projects, such as contracting for power and steam sales, fuel procurement and transportation, site selection and local approvals, environmental permitting, engineering, procurement and construction contracts, plant operation and maintenance, project financing, and ownership.  As one of the pioneers in the independent power industry, we have the experience and entrepreneurial skills to identify attractive opportunities and to turn them into a reality.

Project Development.  We have successfully taken a number of unique power generating facilities from an initial concept to operating plants producing clean, economical electricity. These projects are diverse in many ways:  geographic location - located in several states across the U.S.; fuel type - natural gas, waste wood, tire derived fuel, and landfill gas; technology - combustion turbines (both  simple cycle and combined cycle), steam turbines, and state-of-the-art environmental controls.

Project Restructuring.  We have also acquired troubled projects and turned them around into reliable, profitable facilities by restructuring contracts, refinancing, amending power sales agreements in a mutually-beneficial manner, obtaining new or more economical fuel supplies, investing in capital improvements, and improving operations through professional management and a bottom line orientation.

Strategic Alliances.  Decker Energy provides a full range of power project services through relationships and strategic alliances built over the years with other leading companies in the power industry.  We have partnering relationships with blue chip companies, such as Wheelabrator Technologies, CMS Enterprises, NRG Energy, Dynegy and FPL Energy.  Our projects utilize reliable, proven technology from leading vendors, such as General Electric, ABB, Siemens-Westinghouse, Mitsubishi and  others.  We are, however, not bound to any one supplier, so we are free to choose the best equipment for a particular application. For specific technical expertise we work with a variety of leading consulting firms, including Black & Veatch, R. W. Beck, Earth Tech, Golder Associates, and others.  Project financing has been arranged or provided by leading institutions, including Goldman, Sachs & Co., GE Capital, State Street Bank, and Barclays Bank.  These valuable relationships help ensure that we can develop the most reliable, cost-effective energy systems for our customers.
