PIC Group has been awarded the operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement for the Patriot Hydro portfolio by owner LS Power.
Under the terms of the agreement, PIC Group will have transitional and operational services responsibility to include full care, custody and control overseeing day-to-day O&M services for the Patriot Hydro portfolio through 2025.

We look forward to working with PIC Group with their professional, customer centric approach to operations and maintenance,” said Anthony Hammond, senior vice president, head of asset management at LS Power.
