From 1995-2001, he was a senior executive (President from 1997-2001) of Enserch/Texas Utilities, when he was in charge of numerous power plant projects. He also managed a portfolio of at least 10 electricity generating facilities including wind farms. His overseas development experience includes three coal-fired generation projects of 386 MW in China, a joint venture between New Zealand and Indonesian companies to develop a 300 MW geothermal plant in Indonesia, and development and sale of a 250 MW gas-fired plant in India.
