HOUSTON – Consolidated Asset Management Services (CAMS), a fully integrated service provider for owners of energy infrastructure assets, announced today that two of its operated facilities—St. Charles Energy Center and Three Rivers Energy Center—have been honored with “Best of the Best” awards in the 2025 Combined Cycle Journal (CCJ) Best Practices Awards program.

This recognition underscores CAMS’ ongoing commitment to operational excellence, safety, and innovation across its portfolio. The CCJ Best Practices Awards, now in their 21st year, spotlight power plants and teams that set new benchmarks for reliability, performance, and safety in the energy sector.

“Being recognized with two ‘Best of the Best’ awards in a single year is a remarkable achievement for CAMS and a testament to the dedication of our plant teams,” said Joseph W. Sutton, CEO and Founder of CAMS. “Our people consistently go above and beyond to deliver safe, sustainable, and reliable energy solutions for our clients and communities.”

The 745-megawatt (MW) St. Charles Energy Center, operating in Maryland since 2017, was celebrated for its innovative approach to combined-cycle generation. The facility’s achievements include enhancing flexibility in ISO markets through virtual splitting, transforming maintenance management, and advancing safety and reliability via upgraded water monitoring and drone implementation. These initiatives have enabled St. Charles to offset carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to more than 795,000 cars and supply electricity to approximately 700,000 homes.

CPV Three Rivers Energy Center (TREC), a 1,250-MW natural gas-fueled combined-cycle facility in Goose Lake Township, Illinois, began operations in 2023 and can power over 1.25 million homes. TREC was recognized for its forward-thinking commissioning spare parts strategy, robust winterization solutions for instrumentation and air-operated valves, and the implementation of a radium removal system. The plant also stood out for its ACC fan bridge vibration reduction efforts, all contributing to enhanced reliability and operational efficiency.

Since 2013, CAMS has earned a total of 84 CCJ Best Practices Awards, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in energy infrastructure management.
