2026-05-18 - 2026-05-22 | The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, 1601 Lake Robbins Dr, The Woodlands, TX, TX, United States
7F Users Group, Inc. has grown dramatically since its first meeting in Baltimore, November 19-20, 1991, attended by 14 O&M personnel from four companies. The only 7F engine in service at that time was Virginia Electric & Power Co’s Chesterfield 7. It had been integrated with an existing steamer and new heat-recovery steam generator to configure a 1 x 1 combined cycle.
Fast forward to today: The OEM has shipped to customers more than 1000 F-class gas turbines since Chesterfield 7 left the shop. the majority of these units are 7FAs.

2026 Legacy Turbine Users Group Annual Conferences (7EA, 6B, and Frame 5)
2026-06-25 | Omni Hotel, 100 Oklahoma City Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK, United States
In the very late 1980’s, there was a well-established users group called The Northeast Frame 6 Users Group. By the early 1990’s there were several 7EA Units generating electricity in the northeastern portion of the United States (NY, NJ, RI, etc.) and a plant in Quebec, Canada. As the number of operating 7EA Units continued to grow, we eventually split-off from The Northeast Frame 6 Users Group and formed our very own, Northeast Frame 7EA Users Group. Our first Chairman of The Northeast Frame 7EA Users Group was John Snell from Linden Cogen. The 7EA fleet leader for fired hours in the mid-1990’s was a 4-unit 7EA generation facility (Ocean State Power, in RI), which eventually took over the Chairmanship of The Northeast Frame 7EA Users Group. During the late 1990’s Chairman Lane Watson organized a Conference every 6 months for the Northeast Frame 7EA Users Group and began a new question/answer exchange, which was an entirely emailed system in real-time to all Users, as information was provided. By the early 2000’s the group had continued to grow dramatically in numbers world-wide (Europe, Africa, Middle East) with 7EA Users coming to the United States twice per year for our Conference. In the early 2000’s we changed our name to the 7EA Users Group and solicited the help of Gregory Carvalho to create our web-based Forum exchange (questions/answers/emergency forums) and to also help us organize what became just an annual Conference. Fast forward to today…We are now part of Power Users Group, Inc.

La CCUG se distingue por el logotipo que se muestra aquí y no está afiliada a ningún otro grupo con el mismo nombre o similar, ni está asociada a ningún otro evento industrial.
Las reuniones de la organización están dedicadas a presentaciones formales y sesiones de discusión impulsadas por los asistentes, centradas en el diseño, construcción, operación y mantenimiento de la planta integrada. Otros temas tratados incluyen NERC y otros impactos regulatorios en la operación planificada, la elaboración de normas medioambientales, modificaciones de plantas para alcanzar los objetivos de rendimiento, iniciativas de seguridad, desarrollo profesional, formación en habilidades, etc.
