Bring MaCon In Where Experience Changes the Decision

Not every client needs a large consulting team or a long-term engagement. MaCon is designed to provide experienced powergeneration judgment at the point where the project needs it most.

Start with the problem. Define the issue. Evaluate the options. Establish the path forward. Drive closure.

Typical Engagement Models

  • Focused technical or commercial review of a defined project issue
  • Owner-side advisory support during development or procurement
  • Part-time owner's representative for active EPC execution
  • On-site presence during critical construction and commissioning milestones
  • Project recovery support when schedule, scope, or contractor performance deteriorates
  • Equipment due diligence before capital is committed
  • Capital planning and resource advisory support for existing generation assets
  • Hourly, project-based, or defined-deliverable consulting

When to Call MaCon

  • Before committing to an equipment platform or power block
  • Before signing an EPC or major equipment agreement
  • When owner resources are too thin for the project workload
  • When schedule claims and actual field progress no longer match
  • When change orders or scope gaps begin to accumulate
  • Before commissioning begins and turnover responsibilities are unclear
  • When a project needs an independent technical-commercial second opinion
  • When the owner needs a practical recommendation that can survive execution

Owner's Representation & Owner Advisory

MaCon provides independent technical, commercial, and project-execution support for owners who need experienced representation without building a full internal powergeneration organization.
We sit on the owner’s side of the table. The objective is to protect the investment, maintain control of the project, and drive issues to closure.
  • EPC contractor oversight
  • Contract compliance monitoring
  • Schedule review and enforcement
  • Change-order evaluation
  • Progress verification
  • Monthly and executive reporting
  • Risk and issue tracking
  • Contractor coordination
  • Commissioning oversight
  • Performance testing
  • Turnover and closeout
  • Board and management decision support

Protect the investment. Maintain control. Drive closure.

Why This Matters for Cooperatives and Municipal Utilities

Many cooperatives and municipal utilities are developing dispatchable generation after years without major new thermal construction. Internal teams may not have recent experience managing EPC contracts, verifying OEM claims, controlling change orders, or preparing for commissioning. MaCon provides that experience on the owner’s behalf.

Project Delivery & EPC Execution

MaCon brings hands-on project leadership across the full delivery cycle. The emphasis is not simply reporting status; it is identifying what is preventing progress, assigning ownership, and creating the actions required to move the project forward.
  • Project execution planning
  • LNTP / FNTP planning
  • Engineering coordination
  • Procurement oversight
  • Construction management
  • Project controls
  • Schedule development and recovery
  • Cost-to-complete review
  • QA/QC coordination
  • Safety and field leadership
  • Contractor and vendor interface management
  • Risk-allocation review
  • Commissioning planning
  • Startup and performance testing
  • Punch-list management
  • Turnover and final closeout

Execution Discipline

MaCon experience includes project recovery, major contractor coordination, schedule pull-ins, and delivery through commercial operation. Every project decision is evaluated against field reality: scope, schedule, interfaces, labor, equipment, commissioning, and owner acceptance.

A schedule is only credible if the work, interfaces, decisions, and resources behind it are credible.

Commissioning, Startup & Commercial Operation

Commissioning is where engineering, procurement, construction, controls, equipment performance, and owner requirements finally meet. Problems that reach this phase are usually expensive and schedule-critical.
  • Commissioning planning
  • Mechanical completion tracking
  • System turnover strategy
  • Pre-commissioning
  • Startup sequencing
  • OEM coordination
  • Controls integration
  • Electrical-system coordination
  • Performance testing
  • Reliability runs
  • Punch-list closure
  • Documentation turnover
  • COD readiness
  • Final acceptance and warranty implementation

EPC Contract Administration & Change Management

Poor contract administration can turn a manageable technical issue into a major commercial dispute. MaCon supports the project team with disciplined documentation, scope control, change management, milestone verification, and technicalcommercial issue tracking.
  • Change-order review and workflow
  • Scope interpretation and gap identification
  • Progress and schedule documentation
  • Contractor correspondence support
  • Milestone and payment verification
  • Liquidated-damage milestone awareness
  • Warranty issue tracking
  • Owner-contractor interface management
  • Technical documentation for dispute support
  • Monthly reporting and contemporaneous project records
Note: MaCon provides technical, commercial, and project-execution support and does not provide legal services. Legal interpretation should remain with the owner’s counsel

Equipment Strategy & Procurement Advisory

The lowest equipment price does not automatically produce the lowest-cost or lowest-risk project. MaCon evaluates equipment inside the complete generation solution.
  • Technology and platform selection
  • Gas turbine and RICE evaluation
  • New versus secondary-market analysis
  • OEM proposal and claim review
  • Equipment condition and availability
  • Site-specific derate and heat-rate considerations
  • Maintenance and LTSA strategy
  • Warranty and commercial terms
  • Scope-gap analysis
  • Balance-of-plant requirements
  • Transportation and logistics
  • Dismantling / installation requirements
  • Controls and emissions requirements
  • Commissioning implications

Platforms and Systems

Experience includes LM2500, LM6000, LMS100, Frame 5, Frame 6, Frame 7, Siemens and Solar turbine platforms, reciprocating-engine generation, GSU transformers, SCR systems, switchgear, controls, demineralized-water systems, interconnection equipment, balance of plant, and BESS integration.

Equipment is only valuable if it fits the project.

Asset, Capital & Resource Planning

Power-generation assets require disciplined long-term planning after commercial operation. MaCon helps owners translate condition, maintenance, reliability, and resource needs into structured capital decisions.
  • Plant condition assessments
  • Major inspection planning
  • Outage planning
  • Ten-year capital forecasts
  • Lifecycle cost review
  • Maintenance strategy
  • Equipment obsolescence review
  • Reliability planning
  • Replacement-versus-repair analysis
  • Expansion and capacity planning
  • BESS integration considerations
  • Generation-resource studies
  • Resource planning and committee advisory support
  • Long-term owner decision support

Generation Strategy & Project Development Advisory

Before capital is committed, owners and developers need to know whether a generation concept is technically, commercially, and operationally executable. MaCon helps turn an early concept into a decision framework.
  • Project feasibility review
  • Generation configuration analysis
  • Simple-cycle / peaker strategy
  • CHP and hybrid-generation concepts
  • Behind-the-meter and large-load solutions
  • Equipment sizing and project fit
  • Site and interconnection assumptions
  • Permitting and execution considerations
  • Initial schedule development
  • Commercial and lifecycle modeling

Market Intelligence & Opportunity Support

MaCon combines industry relationships, technical knowledge, project intelligence, and digital research tools to help clients identify, qualify, and prioritize generation opportunities. Technology supports the process; experienced judgment determines what deserves attention.
  • Utility, cooperative, and municipal opportunity tracking
  • Pre-RFP and active RFP intelligence
  • Generation-project screening
  • Equipment-availability intelligence
  • Owner-intent and qualification analysis
  • Bid-timing and positioning support
  • Early-stage commercial evaluation
  • Project and counterparty qualification

Technical-Commercial Analysis

Where appropriate, MaCon can support project comparisons using lifecycle cost, EPC/LCOE, LTSA, escalation, tariff, landedcost, site-condition, heat-rate, and operating-profile assumptions. The purpose is to make technical data usable for an actual business decision.

Executive & Board Decision Support

MaCon translates technical and project information into clear executive recommendations, decision papers, board-level presentations, risk summaries, and paths forward. The goal is clarity: what is known, what remains uncertain, what the options are, and what decision is required next.
