755 MW Power Plant to Bring Jobs & Clean Energy to Region
Concord Engineering was recently selected by PSEG as their Owner’s
Engineer for a 755 MW power plant through a competitive bidding process
between multiple firms based on its experienced combined-cycle
engineering staff and the company’s success with previous PSEG projects.
Concord will be onsite throughout both the project’s construction and
start-up phases.
The PSEG Keys Energy Center, located in Prince George’s County Maryland,
will add needed capacity and energy to the state of Maryland and the
surrounding region and will be completed in May of 2018. The $825 - $875
million investment will supply PJM through the Potomac Electric Power
Company’s (PEPCO) 500 kV transmission system with enough clean,
efficient, and reliable energy to power 500,000 homes.
PSEG will oversee construction, operate and maintain the combined-cycle
plant that features two gas-fired turbines and one steam turbine. The
energy center will use state-of-the-art generating technology, including
a full complement of emissions controls and run on clean, efficient
natural gas.
Said Kevin Best, Concord’s project manager, “We are thrilled to support
PSEG Power in their engineering needs as they continue their commitment
to clean energy and regional economic growth.”
