PIC Group awarded O&M contract for Colorado biomass plant
PIC Group has been awarded the operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement for the Eagle Valley Clean Energy Biomass plant in Gypsym, Colorado, by Eagle Valley Clean Energy.
Under the terms of the $8 million (€6.7 million) O&M agreement, PIC Group, a global power and energy service provider, will provide a standards-based approach to O&M services, along with remote monitoring of the plant’s equipment performance from PIC Group’s Remote Operating Centre through 2024.
This approach ensures consistent, reliable operations, said the firms, while enabling Eagle Valley – part of the Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company portfolio - to achieve their compliance, performance, and commercial management objectives, while reducing operational risk for the 12 MW plant.
“PIC Group is a well-established organisation with biomass plant O&M experience, a proven set of O&M management systems, programmes and standards, and the ability to effectively address the knowledge transfer and leadership development enabling the Eagle Valley plant to optimise its operational and financial goals,” said Greg Greenman, vice president of operations at Greenbacker Group.
Frank Avery, president and CEO at PIC Group, commented: “PIC Group’s O&M methodology, combined with a comprehensive leadership development philosophy and a variety of advanced technologies, provides for the safe and efficient O&M of power generation plants and lasting asset value.”
