"But we are concerned about environmental impact," said chairman Mr O'Brien.
"We have some concerns about the use of waste water that would be supplied to the plants."
He said: "The most recent results showed a significant increase in air and water pollutants for the first 2.5 miles of the project at Tinkley Caves, and that has resulted in significant health concerns.
"We must ensure this is done safely."
Mr O'Brien said he would "absolutely" consider introducing a limit on the amount of coal that could be generated at one plant before it was decommissioned.
Earlier this month, the European Commission confirmed the Tinkley project could move ahead despite being hit with legal challenges.
Environmental groups had welcomed the decision.
John Cooper, from campaign group Save the Children, said: "Tinkley Caves is being billed as Britain's future economic and industrial hub.
"However, we're alarmed that in addition to the coal that this is providing, the developers will be creating more pollution, more water pollution and more noise."
He told BBC News: "As the latest figures show, the use of waste water generated from coal fired power stations is increasing, with many more people breathing air polluted air in the meantime.
"There is no doubt this is a bad outcome to come, when energy is being wasted to supply the coal, which is one of the largest polluters.
"A decision to use any additional coal, including from existing nuclear power plants, would be a terrible mistake and we are very worried this could have far reaching effects."

An orange grove in the ocean between Palm Beach and Miami is a sanctuary for some of the nation's most endangered and threatened marine life, scientists and others say.
On a gray, serene winter morning, a dozen scientists in suits and lab coats look into binoculars and scanning computers. One scientist is wearing a fluorescent blue suit and a black backpack as he sits behind a computer in an office at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Johnson Space Center, which manages the agency's beach-monitoring programs.
"All our measurements show that the state and local beach safety data for the state are very poor," said Alan J. Williams III, a marine biologist with the agency's National Marine Sanctuary Program.
Williams, whose research focuses on the effects of climate change and natural disasters, and others say the data suggest that California and Florida have serious risks of climate change-related erosion on their beaches.
"These beaches are now an extension of coastal communities," he said, "and we really need to have them back."
This story has been updated to clarify why the scientists in suits are scientists.
Marine life has long been part of Orange County's wildlife landscape, but researchers worry that as populations decline, the ocean will erode them.
"When I go to the beach, these are my parents and grandparents," said one woman on a pier on North Beach. "These are my great-grandparents."
Researchers have tried a variety of ways to predict the frequency and severity of such erosions, but no one has found a way to accurately predict how much.
Researchers from NOAA's Bay Area Regional Marine Laboratory are working on a system using ocean-penetrating radar to map coastal areas that is capable of detecting what a particular beach will look like in 50 years. Those beach maps will be useful for officials planning to rebuild beaches and clean up the beaches of coastal communities that have already been impacted by erosion.

When the Coast Guard set up a two-man monitoring team for the agency's Beach Watch project last year, it set up offices and facilities for nearly 3,000 volunteers and $150,000 of resources, said Tom Aarons, the bureau's senior marine scientist.
"These are not cheap resources," Aarons said. "These are volunteers of all ages who have done some really difficult scientific research over a really long tim
