The 1,588-megawatt Greensville County Power Station would produce enough electricity to power 400,000 homes in Virginia at peak demand. The new power station is located on a 1,143-acre site on the Greensville and Brunswick County line in southern Virginia.

This new approach to clean energy also serves as a cost-effective and reliable step toward achieving the federal clean-air standards.

The power station would be be a major boost for the region's economy. In its first year of operation, it was expected to provide up to $8 million in property taxes for Greensville County. Post-construction economic benefits were projected to amount to about $36 million annually, and about 166 jobs would be supported, with roughly half of these in Greensville County.

Over its expected 36-year life, the station is expected to save Dominion Virginia Power customers about $2 billion as a result of the company not having to purchase power from market sources.

Our office in Charlotte, North Carolina, led the design effort with support from our office in the Philippines and global subject matter experts. Our integrated team provided innovative designs, smart supply chain solutions and experienced construction and commissioning teams. A Fluor subsidiary provided construction tools and rentals.

One thousand craft workers were on site during peak construction. We continued our relationship with Southside Virginia Community College to develop and implement a welding training program.

The project employed modular construction. HRSG and turbines arrived as modules and were assembled at the site. We self-performed both the design and assembly of modularized pipe racks and stair towers, which were assembled in a designated yard adjacent to the new facility.

We also built infrastructure at the site, including power plants, roads, a water treatment facility and utilities.
