Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) has completed the engineering,
procurement, construction and commissioning for both phases of LS
Power’s new Centinela Solar Energy Facility, one of the largest of
its kind in the United States. Located near El Centro, California,
the 170-megawatt photovoltaic solar project will provide clean,
renewable energy in the southwestern U.S.

“The successful completion of this large solar facility is the
result of a long-standing relationship and effective coordination
between LS Power and Fluor,” said Matt McSorley, president of
Fluor’s Power business. “We are especially proud of the project
team’s exemplary health, safety and environmental record.”
“Fluor deserves to be congratulated for its successful
completion of construction on the Centinela Solar Energy Facility,”
said John King, executive vice president of LS Power. “Having
achieved this important milestone, Centinela will serve California
and the region with clean, renewable energy for decades to
follow.”
Fluor provided the engineering and procurement services for the
lump-sum project from its southern California operations center. LS
Power and Fluor broke ground on the new facility in December
2012.
The construction of the renewable energy project provided
hundreds of jobs to workers in the Imperial Valley region of
southern California. The construction team installed a total of
more than 875,000 solar photovoltaic panels on the 1,600-acre site.
Fluor completed the project safely, working more than 700,000
construction hours with no lost-time accidents. In addition to
providing engineering, procurement and construction services, Fluor
will also operate and maintain the world-class facility for the
next five years.
The Centinela facility is the second major solar plant that
Fluor has designed and built for LS Power. In November 2013, Fluor
announced the completion of the 125-megawatt Arlington Valley Solar
Energy II facility in Maricopa County, Arizona.
LS Power is an independent power company that develops, owns,
operates and invests in power generation and electric transmission
infrastructure throughout the United States.
