Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation
NAICS 221112 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating fossil fuel powered electric power generation facilities. These facilities use fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, or gas, in internal combustion or combustion
Start the review with boiler and machinery / equipment breakdown.
For Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, the saved research highlights boiler and machinery / equipment breakdown, environmental liability, property. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What fuel type(s) are used — coal, natural gas, fuel oil, or a combination?
- What is the total insured value of generation equipment, structures, and fuel storage?
- Are there any ash impoundment facilities, coal storage piles, or on-site waste disposal areas?
- What power purchase or capacity agreements are in place, and what are the financial penalties for outage?
- What is the age and maintenance history of primary generation equipment including turbines and boilers?
- Is there any active regulatory, environmental enforcement, or consent decree activity?
- For Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, what should the underwriter know about coal-fired facilities facing regulatory pressure, consent decrees, or scheduled retirement?
- For Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, what should the underwriter know about aging infrastructure with deferred maintenance or prior significant machinery breakdown losses?

Fossil fuel electric power generation facilities convert coal, natural gas, or fuel oil into electricity through combustion processes, driving turbines connected to generators. Operations involve continuous fuel supply management, high-pressure steam or gas turbine systems, cooling systems, and emissions control equipment. Most facilities operate around the clock and are subject to federal and state environmental and utility regulatory oversight.
