Zeigler coal annually fuels more than 50 billion kilowatt hours of power in the United States, or nearly 2 percent of all domestic electricity. The Zeigler family of companies is an emerging integrated energy company, with existing or developing segments in coal, technology, power, environmental and engineering, asset management, and international. The Zeigler family of companies is among the largest coal producers and marketers in the United States, and controls more than 1.3 billion tons of economically recoverable coal reserves, including 1 billion tons of low sulfur coal. Zeigler subsidiaries currently operate underground and surface coal mining complexes in Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Wyoming, which mine primarily steam coal for electricity generation. Zeigler subsidiaries also operate two East Coast import/export terminals and the ENCOAL clean coal technology demonstration plant. A Zeigler affiliate has a joint bid with Southern Electric International and NRG Energy pending to purchase out of bankruptcy the non-nuclear assets of Louisiana-based Cajun Electric Power Cooperative. EnerZ Corporation, an energy trading and marketing firm, has been created to take advantage of opportunities growing out of utility deregulation.
