Canada Branch President
George Cooper is a mechanical engineer who has been working in the energy industry since 2007 on engineering projects for reciprocating engine, gas turbine, combined cycle, and steam turbine power plants.
On previous projects, he has taken on a variety of roles performing detailed engineering, acting as Owner’s Engineer, Lender’s Engineer, performing condition assessments, construction monitoring, and working in operational readiness and commissioning teams. This project experience has exposed George to large-scale multi-phased projects with simultaneous operating, commissioning and construction activities.
He also has worked in other unique energy fields such as hybrid power system design in integrating reciprocating engine generators with wind and solar power, gasification for waste to energy applications, coal-to-liquids, and biofuels technology.

South Asia Branch
Join the IPowerE and have access to a professional engineering community and all the resources, skills and opportunities you need to gain essential knowledge and develop your career.
IPowerE originated as a UK organisation but membership became worldwide with members now based in 35 countries. As engineering in the fields of engines and gas turbines became distributed across more countries the engineers who are involved with all sources of power are likewise located around the world. Therefore, in addition to the Head Office in the UK and this branch, located in Mumbai, we have branches covering MENA (Middle East and North Africa), based in Tunisia, and the Americas, based in Canada.
The formation of this new Branch strengthens IPowerE’s position as the leading independent international forum for networking and promotion of knowledge in the field of power and energy.
This development enhances benefits to all IPowerE members by broadening the base upon which they share knowledge in the field of power and energy, enhancing advanced conceptual thought, design, development, manufacture, application, operation and maintenance of power and energy plant and systems.
