Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Sargent & Lundy LLC (Chicago, Illinois) (S&L) is involved in a slew of Power Industry projects in regions across the U.S., spanning natural gas and nuclear plants, coal-fired plant retrofits and transmission buildouts. The company, one of the oldest of its kind, covers work ranging from consulting to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). Industrial Info is tracking more than $17.3 billion in active projects involving S&L.
The largest project under construction that involves S&L is expected to wrap up later this year: Old Dominion Electric Cooperative's (Glen Allen, Virginia) (ODEC) $675 million Wildcat Point Generation Station in Rising Sun, Maryland. The project, which is part of the growing trend toward natural gas-fired, combined-cycle (NGCC) power generation, is expected to produce 1,000 megawatts (MW) from a pair of Mitsubishi combustion turbines and an Alstom steam turbine. S&L is serving as commissioning contractor. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Another NGCC project involving S&L could begin construction in the next two years: Lansing Board of Water and Light's (Lansing, Michigan) $250 million Ingham Power Station in Holt, Michigan. The board is seeking permits for the 250-MW facility through the end of the year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Lansing Board of Water and Light is facing a wave of coal-fired plant closures that are expected to eliminate the vast majority of its current generation by 2030, according to Midwest Energy News. As a result, the company last year laid out a 20-year roadmap that includes the Ingham plant; 40% of the plan comprises wind, solar and energy-efficiency projects.
But S&L also is at work on nearly $1 billion in projects on the coal-fired side of power generation, including the $465 million retrofits of units 1 and 2 at Sooner Lake Power Station in Red Rock, Oklahoma. OGE Energy Corporation (NYSE:OGE) (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is installing circulating dry flue-gas desulfurization scrubbers to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions on a pair of tangential-fired dry-bottom boilers. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In the transmission and distribution sector, S&L is performing EPC services for a pair of power-line projects by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO): a $135 million line running from Reynolds to Burr Oak, and a $135 million line from Burr Oak to LaGrange County, Indiana. Each line runs about 50 miles and has a 345-kilovolt capacity. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Reynolds-Burr Oak and Burr Oak-LaGrange lines.
But the single largest project involving S&L has faced a long line of hurdles and is at least years from beginning construction: Public Service Enterprise Group's (NYSE:PEG) (PSEG) (Newark, New Jersey) $14 billion Unit 2 addition to Hope Creek Nuclear Power Station in Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey. The facility, currently in its site study phase, would generate 1600 MW using Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) technology. But PSEG is facing challenges in economically justifying the project, given the growing demand for cheap natural gas. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report, and February 17, 2017, article - PSEG Looks to NGCC Startups, More than $10 Billion in Capital Spending After Rough Year.
Earlier this year, PSEG and S&L entered into an alliance agreement for S&L to provide engineering services to the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear plants in New Jersey. Ralph Izzo, the chief executive officer of PSEG, has argued vigorously that nuclear should remain a major part of the energy mix. "It doesn't make a lot of sense to try and improve upon customer bills and the environment, and to improve upon efficiency and reliability of the grid, and then allow nuclear plants to prematurely close because of market failures," Izzo said in an interview with Utility Dive.
