NAES Strategically Positioned to Assist Power Generators with Development of $5.3 Trillion of Global Projects

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With more than $5.3 trillion worth of active Power Industry capital and maintenance projects around the globe, never has there been a greater need for quality power plant maintenance, construction and after-market services. With more than 32 years' experience helping power generators manage operations and implement capital and maintenance expenditures, NAES Corporation (Issaquah, Washington) is uniquely positioned to help power generators achieve their goals. NAES continues to invest in growing its business, with new service offerings and an expanding geographic reach.

The company's service offerings include power plant operations and maintenance, technical support, maintenance and construction, turbine and generator maintenance and repair, and staffing services.

Since 1980, when NAES was founded by four northwest utility companies to provide project management services, the company has grown to be the industry's largest independent operations and maintenance services provider. That segment continues to grow and in recent months, NAES has expanded into Europe and the Pacific Rim with new projects.

Earlier this year, NAES Power Contractors Incorporated, a subsidiary of NAES Corporation, was awarded a GE LM 6000 gas turbine construction project near Soldotna, Alaska. Homer Electric Association, doing business as Alaska Electric and Energy Cooperative, is constructing a $35 million, 41-megawatt peaking power plant on a brownfield site. The project is scheduled for completion in October 2013.

NAES recently brought in a highly qualified management team with more than 200 years of combined experience in turbine design, field supervision, and quality control to deepen its team and solidify its position as a premier third-party turbine services provider. Orders and backlog have increased.

NAES also recently established an Industrial Services Division, based in Sulphur, Louisiana, to provide comprehensive direct hire maintenance and construction services to various industry segments, including the oil and gas, petrochemical, and refining industries.

The company continues to add resources to its technical support services team as that business segment is seeing growth in virtually every service offering.

NAES will highlight its continued expansion at the 2012 Power-Gen International Conference & Exhibition being held December 11-13, 2012, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Talk with the NAES experts in Booth 5415 and find out how NAES can support attainment of your generation service goals.
