Its power output will fulfil a need for additional generation resources to serve Dominion's projected customer demand.
Among recent projects by Fluor has been the 2011 completion of EPCC for Dominion's 590 MW CCGT Bear Garden power station in Buckingham County, Virginia, and Fluor is currently the EPCC contractor for Dominion's Brunswick County power station, a 1300 MW CCGT sited 4.5 miles from the location for the new Greensville plant.
