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.
