Zeigler, whose coal annually fuels more than 50 billion kilowatt hours of power in the United States, or nearly 2 percent of all domestic electricity, is pursuing power and energy-related projects both domestically and overseas. The company seeks to leverage its core competencies and twin strategies to align with customers and growing along the chain of economic value for electricity.

Consistent with these strategies, Zeigler and two other subsidiaries of major electric utility holding companies currently have a $1.1 billion joint bid pending to purchase out of bankruptcy the non-nuclear assets of Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Joining Zeigler in the bid are NRG Energy, Inc., the non-regulated affiliate of Minneapolis-based Northern States Power Company, and Southern Energy International, a subsidiary of Southern Companies.

Zeigler also recently announced the launch of EnerZ Corporation, which has been established to take advantage of emerging market opportunities growing out of utility deregulation.
