Link Resources: A SDVOSB in Energy Consulting, Facility Management, Transition Management to Federal and Commercial Clients

Link’s 18 years of experience in the commercial energy arena (independent and utility, domestic and international), combined with our credentials earned at Federal Facilities, is unparalleled among Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The culture of Link Resources is built on a rubber-meets-the-road philosophy earned through military service yet honed through almost two decades providing consultation and services to clients - - often taking accountability for outcomes. FEDERAL Our broad experience in the commercial energy space complemented with our Federal resume uniquely position us to support Federal efforts in the energy security and going greener sectors. For example, the ultimate success of the DOD (e.g. USACE, AFCESA, NAVFAC) and DOE focus on microgrids and renewable energy at facilities/bases requires a comprehensive understanding of: • pros/cons of energy generation alternatives, • fuel/feedstock supply, • potential for energy demand reduction, • energy storage alternatives, • scope definition and contractor interfaces, • contract and project management skill-sets, • risk analysis and mitigation in project development/construction/operation, • effective management of stakeholders, and • experience-based understanding of short and long term objectives of involved parties. COMMERCIAL Eighty percent of Link’s projects have involved electric utilities, independent generators, biofuel producers, industrials (including chemical, petrochemical, pulp & paper, manufacturers), and chilled water suppliers. Our experiences include virtually all technologies (simple/combined cycle turbines, conventional as well as fluidized bed boilers, co- and tri-generation, CHP, electric and absorption chillers) and virtually all fuels (coal, waste coal, biomass, natural gas, oil, nuclear). We have developed and/or provided: • transition planning and management, often with accountability for outcomes • construction management and commissioning, • operation & maintenance (O&M), • program/procedure development, • safety training, • risk/opportunity assessment and risk mitigation Link Resources, a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), has established itself as a competitive provider of transition management, energy consulting, facilities management, and requisite marketing services - - across the spectrum of fuels, technologies, locations, and contexts. Link's core competencies are increasingly critical within the arenas of national energy security, greener energy, tactical advantage for electric utilities, optimal market entry into energy, and execution of complex projects. Link's considerable reputation has been earned executing compound contracts to either advise on, or actually develop, construct, commission, operate, maintain, transition, or rejuvenate energy-related assets. Since 1994, Link has provided broad-scope services for complex energy facilities that include traditional fuels/technologies, renewables and biofuels as well as sustainable approaches to all manners of fossil energy fuels through nuclear projects.

Energy Management Link provides Energy Manage- ment ranging from consultation to program/project develop- ment to hands-on commission- ing to operations & mainten- ance - - including long-term performance based contracts. We have domestic and off- shore experience in virtually all energy production & trans- formation technologies, most fuels (from fossil to renewable to nuclear), energy efficiency and security, and micro-grids. Bioenergy & Renewables A key focus of Link has always been sustainability - - from en- ergy conservation to renewable production to waste utilization! Link has broad experience evaluating and implementing biofuel, biomass, and renew- able technologies, feedstock supply, project development, construction, and operation. We ensure successful projects through a comprehensive ap- proach and incorporation of lessons-learned from industry! Federal Services No other SDVOSB has exper- ience comparable to that of Link’s across the energy space. Link’s broad experience with technologies, fuels, renewa- bles, microgrids, project devel- opment, construction, startup, and operations is ideally matched with Federal agendas in energy security and sustain- ability. We bring innovative and entrepreneurial approaches, and lessons learned from a spectrum of project contexts. Transition & Performance Link’s Transition Management approach manages change during change to achieve rejuv- enation/performance improve- ment objectives otherwise lost in the chaos. Whether the tran- sition is precipitated by restart, M&A, reorganization, or project development through opera- tion, Link provides critical plan- ning and hands-on Transition Management to deliver outcomes.
