ISSAQUAH, Wash. — Midwest Energy’s Goodman Energy Center in Hays, Kansas, was recently recognized by NAES Corp. for Consistent Superior Performance in 2013. NAES operates Goodman Energy Center under contract for Midwest Energy. This marks the third straight year the plant has won the award.
“NAES ranks each of the plants it operates on availability factor, forced outage factors, number of unit trips and personnel turnover, and the Goodman center has seen consistent improvement in all areas year after year,” said Bill Dowling, vice president of engineering and energy supply at Midwest Energy. “The NAES team at Goodman is second to none — whenever we call upon the plant to generate, they’re ready to deliver.”
Mike Prindle, NAES’ plant manager at Goodman, credits his nine-man crew with keeping the plant ready to go at a moment’s notice.
“These engines require a lot of maintenance to be in peak operating condition,” Prindle said. “Every one of our technicians here sets the bar high professionally, and I couldn’t be more proud that this team continues to push themselves to improve each year.”
