Quanta Services, Inc. today announced that Quanta Power Generation, Inc., a Quanta Services company, was selected by Anchorage Municipal Light & Power for the George M. Sullivan Plant 2 Generation Replacement Project in Anchorage, Alaska. Under the terms of the contract, signed in December 2013, Quanta Power Generation will provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for all equipment and facilities for the 120 Megawatt (MW) plant.
"Quanta Power Generation was chosen from a field of good EPC contractors to build our project," said project manager, Eugene Ori. "As a publicly owned utility, ML&P follows rigorous procurement procedures and Quanta proved to have the best team, solutions, and competitive pricing in meeting our requirements. With the Quanta team, we are confident and are looking forward to building a 'flagship' power generation plant that proves to be the most cost effective and energy efficient plant in Alaska."
"Quanta can self-perform all aspects of a power plant EPC project by leveraging the combined track record, experience and strength of its operating units," said Jim O'Neil, president and chief executive officer of Quanta Services. "Quanta has operated in Alaska for several decades and brings a strong local presence with experience to manage the weather and logistical challenges of the area."
Engineering and procurement activities will begin soon and construction of the plant is expected to be complete in September 2016. The facility is designed in a 2x1 combined-cycle configuration and will utilize GE LM6000 combustion turbine technology. This plant is expected to achieve significant reductions in natural gas use and emissions, while improving the heating of the municipal water supply and providing additional generation capacity to meet Anchorage's power needs.
