Attention all Government Agencies, Prime Contractors, Sub-Contractors, and Small Businesses! Are you halfway through completing a structural steel or pipeline project? Have your welding procedures and welder qualifications been reviewed by a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)? Don't wait until it's too late to find out that your SOW, material, procedure, or qualifications are unsatisfactory. One misconception in the welding industry is that if NDE is performed on the welding joint and it passes, it's okay. However, if the procedure and welder are not certified, the weld is unsatisfactory. Understanding various AWS and ASME Welding Codes can be challenging. But you don't have to worry about that. Contact MAC Inspection & Welding Agency today for a review. Their expert team will ensure that everything is certified according to the SOW. MAC Inspection & Welding Agency, LLC is a Service Disable Veteran Owned Small Business, and for a small fee now, their review may save you millions later on. Don't take any chances, call 443.617.3681 today! #welding #weldprocedures #welderqualifications #nde #cwi #certifiedweldinginspector #aws #americanweldingsociety #structuralsteel #pipeline #bridges #smallbusiness #safety #qualitycontrol #qualityassurance #metal #armycorpsofengineers #navy #navfac #boilers #oig #dod #gsa #marylandgov #MDL #DLLR #virginiagov #DOLI

We are proud to be partners with NorthWestern Energy - collectively, we are helping decarbonize commercial transportation in the U.S. Using RNG as a transportation fuel drastically reduces a vehicles’ carbon emissions on two fronts: at the source where it's made (capturing methane at dairies) and on the road (NOx / tailpipe emissions). That’s why RNG is able to achieve such a low carbon intensity rating and really moves the needle when it comes to fighting climate change. #RenewableNaturalGas #RNG #CleanEnergyFuels

AMEREN PLANS NEW 800 MW NATURAL GAS PLANT IN MISSOURI US power company Ameren has filed plans with the Missouri Public Service Commission to build an 800 MW simple-cycle natural gas power plant at the site of its former Meramec coal plant in St Louis County, which closed in 2022. The proposed Castle Bluff Energy Center will be used to meet peak energy demand and will complement Ameren's growing renewable energy portfolio as the utility transitions away from fossil fuels. Taking advantage of existing infrastructure to reduce costs, if approved by regulators construction would start in 2026 with the plant operational by 2027. The Castle Bluff plant is part of Ameren's 2023 Integrated Resource Plan outlining $10.8 billion in investments this decade. This includes adding 4,700 MW of renewables by 2036 and 800 MW of battery storage capacity. ⚡ Follow MPS (Modern Power Systems) for all the latest news daily from the global power generation industry ⚡ #MPS #power #energy #powergeneration #gaspower

Puerto Rico Can Reach Its 100% Renewable Energy Goal by 2050! 🏝🇵🇷 Frequent and extreme weather events. Record-setting power outages. High energy costs. These are some of the galvanizing forces that unite the people of Puerto Rico in their commitment to achieve a more resilient, reliable, affordable energy system. In the face of these challenges, the people of Puerto Rico want to rebuild differently. In 2019, they passed Act 17, committing to reach a 100% renewable energy system by 2050. Three Scenarios Reflect Concentrated vs. Widespread Solar-Plus-Storage Deployment Scenario 1—Economic adoption of distributed solar and storage based on the financial savings and value of backup power to building owners and prioritized for critical services (circled) through installation and use of distributed energy resources. Scenario 2—Equitable Rooftop solar and storage adoption was expanded beyond Scenario 1 to include remote and low- and moderate-income households. Scenario 3—Maximum Rooftop solar and storage is added to all suitable rooftops to meet critical loads. Will Puerto Rico reach their goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050? #puertorico #distributedgeneration #microgrid
