About Me...Your Power Plant Consultant and Specialist

Hello generator operators and owners,

My name is Mark Barrett and I help power plants solve problems and close gaps.

• What I’d like for you to know, about me, is:
• I’ve worked in power plants, gasification, and refineries, for over 30 years.
• I’ve learned that running a power plant, safely and reliably, is hard. Lots of problems to solve, regulatory compliance is complex,…..and there’s just not enough hours in a day.
• My goal is to find a solution for your plant’s need, gap, or problem.
• I offer a wide variety of technical experience aimed at providing you with safe and reliable solutions.
• My vision is to be the first choice for safe and high-quality consulting solutions for your power plant.

Let’s fix your problem.
