Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, TXU Generation Construction, TXU Corp.
Chuck Enze joined TXU in mid-June 2006 to lead the construction of more than $10 billion of solid-fuel power generation facilities as part of TXU's program to power the future of Texas. Enze is responsible for the accelerated construction of 9,000 megawatts of new coal-fired units as well as retrofitting existing facilities to meet TXU's unprecedented voluntary environmental commitment. When all the units are online, scheduled for 2010, the program will double TXU's solid-fuel generation capacity while decreasing its total key emissions 20 percent below current levels.
Enze brings a wealth of knowledge in building high-performing teams with strategic contractors and suppliers to deliver continuing improvement in cost, performance and scheduling across the supply chain. He joined TXU from Shell International Exploration & Production where he served as vice president, engineering and projects, with 30 years of experience leading major projects from concept through execution to start-up and steady-state operations. His experience from leading Shell's global deepwater development program over the last 20 years includes:
Managing a $20 billion portfolio of global projects ranging from five global deepwater oil developments to liquefied natural gas re-gasification terminals.
Project managing the successful completion of 11 major projects, ranging in size from $1 billion to $4 billion, in the U.S., Africa, Russia, and the Far East.
Project managing Shell's first deepwater project (Auger), which received the ASCE Outstanding Civil Engineering Project Award.
Building and leading high-performing teams and creating innovative, risk-sharing relationships with contractors that led to significant improvements in the domestic deepwater program. These efforts leveraged standardization, scale, and continuous improvement to deliver 50 percent improvement in capital cost per unit of production, 20 percent improvement in delivery time, and 15 percent improvement in uptime reliability.
Enze's background in successfully managing construction programs that require coordination of multiple infrastructure projects will be critical to TXU's success in its bold program to assure a lower-cost, stable power supply for Texas. His hiring is the result of a worldwide search for a top construction executive with a proven track record in complex energy infrastructure projects.
