According to the company, the 620MW gas-fired, combined cycle expansion will provide electricity with low emissions required by Brazos Electric’s member utilities. Project completion is targeted for the second quarter of 2011. Fluor will book the undisclosed project value in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Fluor said that it was awarded engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPC) contract for the Brazos Electric Power Cooperative’s Jack County generating facility Unit-1 power plant. A similar design will be used for the new Unit-2 generating facility in order to shorten the schedule and to minimize plant operating costs, said the company.
David Constable, president of Fluor’s power business group, said: “We appreciate Brazos Electric’s confidence in Fluor as demonstrated by this second Jack County project award. Our performance on Jack County Unit-1 will serve as the basis for providing value for this new power plant.”
Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Fluor Corporation provides services in the fields of engineering, procurement, construction, operations, maintenance and project management.
