Fluor Granted Full Notice to Proceed on Dominion’s Greensville County Power Station in Virginia
Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was granted full
notice to proceed by Dominion Virginia Power (Dominion) to build its
Greensville County (Va.) Power Station. Fluor was awarded the contract
by Dominion in April 2015 on a limited notice-to-proceed basis. Once
completed, the combined-cycle, natural gas-fired power station will be
the largest and most efficient natural gas-fueled power station in
Virginia. Fluor booked an undisclosed value for the project in the
second quarter of 2016.
"Fluor is proud to continue our valued relationship with Dominion and to
move forward and begin this important next step on the Greensville
County Power Station," said Chris
Tye, president of Fluor's Power business. "As with each of our
projects, our team is committed to executing this project safely and
with excellence. We also look forward to continuing our efforts to make
a positive impact in the local community."
The 1,600-megawatt Greensville County Power Station will produce enough
electricity to power 400,000 homes at peak demand. It is located on a
1,143-acre site on the Greensville and Brunswick County line in southern
Virginia.
Fluor is currently designing and building the two largest gas-fueled
combined cycle power plants under construction in the United States. As
a leader in the gas-fired engineering, procurement, construction and
commissioning business, Fluor has led the design and build of nearly
50,000 megawatts of gas-fueled power facilities over the past 20 years.
