Power plant O&M / EPC Management

Mr Schumacher is a prime example of the "been there, done that" internationally experienced type executive that has worked his way up the ranks, giving him a powerful insight into the need for two way communications between management and staff. These communications and the resultant teamwork and co-worker loyalties have been paramount to his success and his record of consistently exceeding objectives and expectations at all of his international projects.

Mr. Schumacher's industry and power plant career experience is varied and extensive. He has managed, mobilized and directed successful commercial operations and maintenance for many projects ranging from 25 to 600 MW power plants, throughout Latin America, Asia, and Iraq. He has experience in CCGT, small and large frame turbines, HFO fired diesels, power-barges, steam plants and stoker coal fired facilities. Prior to the power industry Mr. Schumacher was involved in the Oil & Gas industry both on and offshore primarily in electrical maintenance and construction of drilling equipment and MODU platforms of up to 5,000 feet water depth capabilities.

Additionally, earlier in his career he has performed and overseen the maintenance of all facility maintenance, HVAC, balance of plant equipment, pumps, motors, transformers, turbines, engines and water treatment plants.

Some of Mr. Schumacher's key attributes are the ability and experience to build and lead a project from start to finish both technically and administratively. He has a strong record of building world-class teams of environmental and safety-conscious, local and international personnel who are proud of their jobs and projects, using the best of international technical standards with high work ethics and progressive management ideas. His knowledge of Spanish and Portuguese has enabled him to efficiently function in many different environments such as Argentina, Brasil, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela and Dominican Republic. Mr. Schumachers oil & gas experience was primarily obtained in Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Japan, Argentina, as well as the USA Gulf Coast.

Mr Schumacher is one of the few power industry executives who are equally comfortable in an operational or construction role in any international environment.

➢ Vice President, Basic Energy Group, Santo Domingo, Domincan Republic. (contract)

When Basic Energy was formed incorporating EGE Haina, 600 MW, CEPM 80 MW, CESPM 300 MW,
Patagonia, 140 MW and Pedegral Power, 55 MW, Jamaica Energy partners 125 MW, Mr. Schumacher was promoted to Vice President of Operations and Maintenance and Internal Projects for the group with a staff of over 500 people under his leadership. Mr. Schumacher was responsible for turning around a faltering operation at CEPM and installing a CCGT conversion in Argentina at 50 % of the normal prices in the industry by using rehabilitated equipment.

➢ Operations & Maintenance Director, Patagonia Energy Ltd., Miami, Florida 2004 /2005
Central Termica Patagonia, Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina (contract)

Using his contacts in the industry Mr. Schumacher located a GE gas turbine power plant for sale in Southern Argentina and assisted in bringing about a successful sale of the plant to investors. He was then contracted to restart the plant that had been mothballed for two years, overhaul the turbines, negotiate a long term service agreement, hire and train the operations & maintenance personnel and set up all Operations & Maintenance polices and procedures according to world class standards. He is currently overseeing the plant O&M on behalf of the owners as well as the Position of project director overseeing the conversion to combined cycle.

➢ Inversiones Vindex, Principal, Bayji, Iraq 2004 (contracted to Odebrecht)

Mr. Schumacher was contacted by a consortium who were finishing the construction of a 300 MW Siemens V 84.2 plant abandoned in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq. Two previous project managers had been rejected by the USACE (US Army Corps of Engineers) and they were on the verge of canceling the contract. Mr. Schumacher took on the role of Site Construction Manager spending many hours in the field directing and organizing the many subcontractors. He was responsible for approximately 15 expatriate and 1,000 Iraqi employees. He brought the project to construction completion in 4 months and then handed it over to the Siemens commissioning team. The team that Mr. Schumacher assembled from Latin America directed and oversaw all construction activities and implemented a QA/QC program praised by the Chief USACE engineer for the project.

➢ Operations & Maintenance Director EGE Haina, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 2000/2003 (contract via Vindex)

Mr. Schumacher arrived after 2 previous directors had failed to satisfy the owners' needs. He inherited several abused and neglected plants plant with less than 200 MW working and a 60 % availability factor. Within 18 months the facilities were producing 600 MW at availability of 90 %. One facility called "The Thermo Never Plant" had been in construction on and off for 12 years. Mr. Schumachers team had this unit fully operating in 10 months and inaugurated by the President of the Country. It is currently Hainas best performing, lowest marginal cost plant.

He also embarked on a plan to implement strict environmental compliance even though the laws were not yet enacted to require this. He developed ISO 9000/14000 compliant operations procedures for the facilities and implemented world-class state of the art predictive and preventive maintenance practices and developed a Special Maintenance Team to oversee all the various plants maintenance.

However, his most outstanding accomplishment was when the main insurance company had decided to cancel all their business dealings in the Dominican Republic. Due to his efforts the only company they continued to insure was EGE Haina. This was after the 9/11 attack and insurance was very difficult to obtain. Auditors from insurers did not have any significant findings, thus recommended that Haina remain insured. Recently in November 2007 the same insurers audited all the facilities with favorable results.

➢ Plant Manager, Enron International, Cuiaba, Mato Grosso Brazil 1998 / 2000 (permanent staff)

Mobilization and plant operations & maintenance for the first large combined cycle power plant to be built in Brazil. A 480 MW CCGT facility with Siemens V-843A 150 MW Gas turbines. Assembled a world class mobilization team of third country nationals, hired local staff, conducted extensive training, (over 1,700 hours per operator) developed O&M and administrative procedures.

He implemented the concept of "Plant Technician" rather than the traditional "operator". His staff was cross trained to provide all the maintenance activities that they were capable of handling, thus only the heavy maintenance was performed by the maintenance crew, reducing costs considerably. Train the trainer and systems experts programs were also implanted.

Excellent safety audit results obtained. High availability maintained despite many technology issues encountered with these new Siemens machines. Recommended commissioning schedule that will allow the company to earn several million dollars more that anticipated for Phase III commissioning.

Mr Schumacher also assisted in negotiating the PPA with the Brasilian utility and participated in all the construction processes, provided QA/QC oversight of the construction company and plant acceptance from commissioning to commercial operations.
