Shaw Group develops new dual fuel combined-cycle gas turbine plant

The Shaw Group received full notice to proceed on a new dual fuel combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant at Entergy’s Ninemile Point Steam Electric Station near New Orleans, La. In June 2011, Entergy awarded Shaw an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services contract for the construction of the new unit. Shaw began working under a limited notice to proceed. The notice to proceed fully authorizes Shaw to begin EPC services for the plant. The plant will enhance the efforts for generating electricity using a variety of fuels, including natural gas and nuclear. It will assist in Entergy's goals in providing safe, clean and reliable electric power. Shaw has worked with Entergy, providing engineering, procurement and construction solution as well as fleet-wide maintenance and modification services.
