B&W will engineer, design, procure and construct the facility for the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County in West Palm Beach.
B&W PGG president and chief operating officer Randall Data said B&W has been working diligently with its consortium partner and its customer to make the SWA’s waste-to-energy project a success.
"This notice from the SWA is welcome news and allows us to continue our work on this important project," Data said.
B&W and its consortium partner, KBR, were awarded a $668m contract for the design and construction of the 95MW renewable energy facility no. 2 in April 2011.
The new waste-to-energy facility will be located adjacent to the SWA’s existing plant, renewable energy facility no. 1.
The new plant, which is scheduled to commence commercial operation in late 2015, will be capable of processing 3,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day to produce electricity and reduce the amount of waste sent to the county’s landfill.
