Foster Wheeler Secures Major Power Plant Contract in the UK
February 07, 2002 09:00:00 AM ET


HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2002--Foster Wheeler Ltd.'s FWC subsidiary, Foster Wheeler Energy Limited, has secured an engineering, procurement and construction management contract from Immingham CHP LLP (ICHP) for a 730-megawatt Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, the largest ever built in the UK, and with a total investment cost in excess of $300 million.

The Immingham CHP plant, one of the largest, cleanest and most efficient CHP plants in Europe, will be built alongside Conoco's Humber Refinery at South Killingholme, North Lincolnshire. The facility will supply steam and electricity to the Humber Refinery, steam to the neighboring Lindsey Oil Refinery and electricity to the National Grid.

Foster Wheeler is responsible for the detailed engineering design, procurement, construction management, commissioning, start-up, performance testing and turnover of the completed plant. Foster Wheeler will also provide training services, and operational and maintenance manuals and materials.

CHP technology is one of the cleanest and most efficient ways to generate power. CHP plants use natural gas-fired combustion turbines to generate electricity. Steam produced from the exhaust energy of the turbines is then utilized to generate additional electricity and heat for industrial use. The Immingham CHP plant will have an efficiency exceeding 70 per cent.

Ian Bill, chairman and chief executive, Foster Wheeler Energy Limited, said: "This landmark project is a very significant win for Foster Wheeler. We are very pleased to note that the award from ICHP reflects their confidence in our ability to manage effectively large complex projects. We are proud to be associated with this quality CHP energy project."
