✦ Synopsis

The new two-by-one combined cycle combustion turbine power facility will run mainly on natural gas with ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel as a backup. Fluor's EPC scope will include the engineering, procurement and construction for the new facility, with Dominion Virginia Power providing the fuel, water, backfeed power and some of the major equipment.

Final regulatory permits have been approved and construction activities have already started. Commercial operation is expected in 2011.
