Fluor Corporation has announced that Centinela Solar Energy, LLC, a member of LS Power Group, has issued a notice-to-proceed for Phase 2 of the Centinela Solar Energy Facility, a new nominal 170-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located in Southern California. Fluor received its initial notice-to-proceed from LS Power in September 2012 and began construction in December 2012. Phase 2 is the final phase to be released to Fluor under its lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project.
“We are excited to announce the final release in our EPC contract for Phase 2 of the Centinela project.This is a significant project for Fluor and we are very pleased to be able to build on our relationship with LS Power and with the progress to date on the project,” said senior vice president of Fluor’s Power Group, Matt McSorley.
The Centinela project is located on approximately 2,100 acres near San Diego. This project will help meet the regional need for renewable energy and will be one of the first major projects to tie into the newly constructed Sunrise Powerlink Transmission Line.
The facility is expected to achieve full commercial operation by mid-2014.
