The first project will begin this month at TVA's Lagoon Creek Combustion Turbine Plant and when completed will add 600 megawatts of combined-cycle capacity to the 1,020 megawatts of existing capacity at the facility, which is located near Brownsville, Tennessee. The value of this project to URS is approximately $180 million over 30 months. TVA currently is evaluating other projects for future capacity addition. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
