Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today the company signed a
memorandum of understanding with Clean Energy Future, LLC, to provide
development support for the Trumbull and Oregon Energy Centers natural
gas, combined-cycle stations in Ohio.
As part of the agreement, Fluor will provide initial permitting and
development support services for the projects. After the projects have
received all permits and regulatory and financial approvals, Fluor will
provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning
services for both of the power stations.
“We are honored to be selected by Clean Energy Future for this new
natural gas development,” said Chris
Tye, president of Fluor’s Power business line. “Fluor is a leader in
the gas-fueled business demonstrated by the design and build of nearly
50,000 megawatts of gas-fueled power stations over the past 20 years.”
Fluor will support permitting and project development over the next year
with construction scheduled to begin in early 2018. The projects are
currently planned to begin commercial operations in 2020.
“Clean Energy Future is pleased to have such a talented international
engineering-construction firm leading the way for our next two large
scale combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) projects in Ohio,” said Bill
Siderewicz, P.E., president of Clean Energy Future, LLC. “These two new
facilities will represent the fourth and fifth such CCGT projects
developed by Clean Energy Future in Ohio, and the sixth and seventh in
the PJM
interconnection region. Fluor will be working in partnership with our
other team members including Siemens Energy, Siemens Financial Services
and BNP Paribas.”
The highly efficient natural gas facilities will use Siemens advanced
technology and will be among the most energy efficient generating plants
in the region. The 940-megawatt Trumbull Energy Center and 955-megawatt
Oregon Energy Center will be located in the Ohio towns of Lordstown and
Oregon, respectively. These projects will be constructed by members of
the local building trades.
