SERVICES OFFERED

Source California Energy Services, Inc. (Source California) is organized into three main business lines:

• Engineer, Procure and Construct Power Generation Facilities
• Operations & Maintenance of Power Generating Systems & Equipment
• Asset Recovery & Brownfield Development

Each of these business lines perform functions ranging from retrofits and modernizations to new "green field" development. Individuals considered industry experts in their field lead each business line.

Source California specializes in developing and implementing engineering and construction projects using in-house resources and other selected engineering and construction companies. Source California also maintains strategic alliances and close working relationships with multiple engineering firms, construction companies and equipment suppliers to provide complete services required to design and build industrial and commercial power plant projects on a turnkey basis.

Our principle areas of technical expertise are, as follows:

Major Electrical Generating Facilities (Greater than 50 MW)		Feasibility Studies, Engineering, Design, Procurement, Construction and Startup
Cogeneration and Peaking Facilities (Less than 50 MW)		Design, Procure, Construct, Turnkey or Partial Scope Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Services
Distributed Generation/Cogen Facilities (0-5 MW)		Design, Procure, Construct, Operate, Maintain, and Finance (Including Ownership)
Energy Management Systems		Energy Application Services
Recovery of Aging Power Generating Assets		Pre-decommissioning O&M, Decommissioning, Demolition, Environmental Remediation, Re-development

Source California provides Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) and startup services for the modernization and upgrade of instrumentation and control (I&C), electrical and mechanical systems typically found in power generating facilities. The firm provides full or partial scope services to support their customers project requirements. Experienced managers ensure each job is performed with quality workmanship, on schedule and at very competitive costs. Power plant outages/turnarounds are excellent examples of where Source California's energy managers join your team to improve reliability and increase plant efficiency.
