ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IHI Power Services Corp. (IPSC), a leading owner and operator of power plants across the U.S., today announced it has entered into a third-party operations and management (O&M) service agreement with San Francisco-based investment management firm, Panamint Capital. The companies inked two new contracts for IPSC to oversee O&M for Panamint Capital’s Nevada Cogeneration Associate No.2 (NCA#2) facility, located near Las Vegas, and its Cottage Grove Cogeneration (Cottage Grove) plant based just outside of Minneapolis. The NCA#2 plant is comprised of an 85 MW 3×1 combined cycle cogeneration facility of three GE LM2500 combustion turbines and one GE steam turbine, supplying waste heat to a neighboring gypsum plant. Cottage Grove is a 245 MW CCGT Cogen facility powered by a Siemens 501FC+ with a Nooter Erickson triple pressure HRSG and a Siemens steam turbine. These contracts signify the beginning of a long-standing relationship between the two companies, with the expectation that the partnership will deepen and grow over time.
IPSC has in-depth experience leading successful operations and management projects for power generation facilities across the United States. Its seasoned professionals specialize in a wide variety of technologies, including combustion turbines, reciprocating engines, steam turbines, boilers, geothermal and renewable energy assets in regulated and deregulated energy markets. Its adaptable, site-specific offerings were exactly what Panamint Capital required for its two facilities.

IPSC will add value while minimizing operational risk, making it an optimal partnership in what we are sure will be the first agreement of many.”
