EthosEnergy signed a multi-year operations and maintenance (O&M) agreement with the Rhode Island State Energy Center (RISEC), a two-by-one combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Providence, Rhode Island, and owned by Shell Energy North America.
Key Takeaways
- EthosEnergy secured a major multi-year O&M contract with RISEC, a 596 MW combined-cycle gas turbine plant owned by Shell Energy North America.
- The agreement covers O&M services, including 24/7 remote monitoring, IT/OT, HR, procurement, and crucial compliance.
- EthosEnergy is positioning itself as a key partner for asset owners navigating the energy transition.
“This agreement with RISEC is a testament to the strength of our O&M team and capabilities to manage critical energy infrastructure,” said Ana Amicarella, CEO, EthosEnergy. “It reflects our commitment to safety, operational excellence, continuous improvement, and innovation, and reinforces our role as a trusted partner in driving reliability and performance as the industry evolves.”
Per the agreement, EthosEnergy will deliver comprehensive O&M services, including:
- health, safety, environmental, and NERC compliance
- 24/7 remote monitoring
- IT/OT services
- human resources
- procurement support
The facility, commissioned in 2002 with a nominal output of 596 MW, is powered by two SGT6-5000F gas turbines and one GE D11 steam turbine. With this new agreement, EthosEnergy further expands its presence in the Northeast and continues to deliver value through tailored, technology-neutral solutions.
“This award builds on EthosEnergy’s growing momentum of our diverse global O&M fleet and integrated OneEthos portfolio of products and services as the company supports asset owners navigating energy transition, decarbonization goals, and evolving market demands,” said Iain O’Brien, SVP Operations, EthosEnergy.
In May 2025, EthosEnergy signed two O&M contracts, including:
- A multi-year contract with Energia 2000, S.A., to provide third-party O&M services for the 420-MW combined-cycle Manzanillo Power Land project in the Pepillo Salcedo, Montecristi province of the Dominican Republic.
- A contract for the 850-MW Maisan combined-cycle power plant located near Basra, Iraq. Under the three-year, multi-million-dollar contract, EthosEnergy will oversee plant operations, conduct routine inspections, and perform regular and preventive maintenance on all plant equipment.
Energia 2000
“We are excited to partner with Energia 2000 as they look to bring reliable, secure energy to the Dominican Republic”, said Luis Vintimilla, Vice President of O&M Business Development, EthosEnergy. “Our goals are to maximize plant availability, optimize performance, and ensure safe, long-term operation of the plant.”
The project, set to open in late 2025, features a Siemens Energy SGT6-8000H gas turbine and an SST6-3000 steam turbine. It focuses on energy efficiency to help produce clean, reliable, cost-effective electricity. The new plant sits alongside a natural gas terminal and port with a reception pier and breakwater.
Maisan Combined-Cycle Power Plant
Maisan Power Co. (MPC) operates the plant, which is part of the Raban Al Safina (RAS) Group. This award represents EthosEnergy’s first third-party care, custody, and control contract in the Middle East.
The signing of this new contract strengthens our partnership with RAS Group and expands our presence in Iraq and its neighboring countries,” said Iain O’Brien, Senior Vice President of O&M, EthosEnergy. “It highlights EthosEnergy’s commitment to growing our O&M business and aligns with our strategy for the Middle East, a region that presents growth opportunities. We are excited about the opportunities this contract brings and look forward to continuing our collaboration. In a region where temperatures can soar to 50ºC in summer, we take pride in assisting the local community to secure the reliable power they need.”
