Located in Gentry, Arkansas, the Flint Creek power plant has 550MW of capacity.

Construction work for the plant is anticipated to start shortly, with completion planned for mid 2016.

BWCC is a subsidiary of Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group (B&W PGG).

B&W PGG president and chief operating officer J. Randall Data said: "Whether it’s designing and building our own equipment or erecting components designed by others, Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co. has the experience and knowledge to successfully execute these kinds of projects.

"This project is a particularly important example of one that will allow for the cleaner use of coal for power generation to supply SWEPCO’s customers’ energy needs and create significant local economic benefits."

The Flint Creek power plant provides base load power to SWEPCO customers and Arkansas electric cooperative members.
