Our next speaker works in T&PS Technical Services CC/CT Fleet Strategy group supporting new unit gas turbine selection, cycle configuration, & equipment design definition. He has 16.5 years of experience at Southern Company with a current focus on the assessment of emerging gas turbine technology advancements. When he is not chasing gas turbine OEMs, consistent with his passion for all things mechanical, you might find him chasing down parts/repairs for an old vehicle or perhaps chasing his goats/chickens/turkeys in a field. Please welcome Juan LaRota.
