Testimonials

Andy Cofas

Senior Plant Manager | AECI New Madrid
I wanted to express our appreciation for the support provided by NAES during our recent maintenance outage at the New Madrid Power Plant. The experience and knowledge your team brought to the table were invaluable in ensuring a successful outage. Their ability to work with multiple contractors while representing the interests of the utility played a significant role in the overall success of the project. We would be glad to have NAES onsite again if the need arises for future outage or project management.
