New Gas-Fired Station to Serve Projected Customer Demand
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was awarded an
engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract
by Dominion Virginia Power (NYSE: D) to build its new Greensville County
Power Station, a combined-cycle, natural gas-fired power station in
Greensville County, Va. The project investment will exceed $1 billion
and result in the largest and most efficient natural gas-fueled power
station in Virginia. Based on the current limited notice-to-proceed,
Fluor will book a portion of its scope into backlog in the first quarter
of 2015 with the remainder to be booked in 2016 after Dominion receives
final permits and approvals.
“Fluor is proud to be selected by Dominion to build the largest and most
efficient natural gas asset in Virginia,” said Matthew
McSorley, president of Fluor’s Power business. “Fluor has a proven
track record supporting Dominion in their goal to provide clean,
reliable, and low-cost energy to their Virginia customers.”
The new 1,600-megawatt Greensville County Power Station is expected to
be completed by 2019 and will produce enough electricity to power
400,000 homes at peak demand. Fluor will design the plant at its
engineering office in Charlotte, and it is anticipated that about 1,000
craft workers will be onsite during the peak construction period. The
Greensville County Power Station will be located on a 1,143-acre site on
the Greensville and Brunswick County line in southern Virginia. New
power output from the Greensville County facility will fulfill the need
for additional generation resources to serve Dominion’s projected
customer demand.
As a leader in the gas-fired EPCC business, Fluor has completed 50,000
megawatts of gas-fired power facilities over the past 15 years.
In 2011, Fluor completed the engineering, procurement, construction and
commissioning for Dominion’s 590-megawatt combined-cycle, natural
gas-fired Bear
Garden Power Station in Buckingham County, Virginia. Fluor is
currently the EPCC contractor for Dominion’s Brunswick
County Power Station, a 1,300 megawatt combined-cycle natural
gas-fired power station in Brunswick County located 4.5 miles from the
location for the new Greensville County Power Station.
