Texas-headquartered global engineering and procurement company Fluor Corporation has signed a memorandum of understanding with Clean Energy Future to provide development support for the Trumbull and Oregon Energy Centers natural gas, combined-cycle stations in Ohio.
The 940 MW Trumbull Energy Center and 955 MW Oregon Energy Center will be located in the Ohio towns of Lordstown and Oregon, respectively.
As part of the agreement, Fluor will provide initial permitting and development support services for the projects, the company said.
Moreover, 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.
Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2018, while the projects are currently planned to begin commercial operations in 2020, it said.
“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” said Bill Siderewicz, president of Clean Energy Future.
“Fluor will be working in partnership with our other team members including Siemens Energy, Siemens Financial Services and BNP Paribas” he added.
The natural gas facilities are to utilise Siemens technology, Fluor said.
