Argan’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gemma Power Systems, received Notice to proceed with engineering, procurement, and construction activities under a contract for a 1,875 MW natural gas-fired power plant in Guernsey County, Ohio. Construction of this state-of-the-art combined cycle facility is scheduled to begin immediately with completion scheduled in 2022.
The three single-shaft power trains for the facility will be provided by General Electric Company utilizing 7HA.02 gas-fired turbines. The Guernsey Power Station is being jointly developed by Caithness Energy and Apex Power Group.
“Caithness is excited to begin construction and to be partnering again with Gemma on this important project. Gemma has been a good member of the local communities in which it does business. Gemma also has maintained an excellent safety record in completing its power plant projects. We believe Gemma will serve the project and the community well in this large undertaking,” said Ross Ain, president of Caithness.
“This project will bring cleaner, reliable energy to the area, boost the local economy through its construction spending and related economic activity, utilize locally produced natural gas, and generate tax revenue that should benefit local schools and other community priorities,”added Ain.
“Caithness and APEX are to be congratulated for bringing this project to fruition. Caithness is a valued customer and we are pleased with the opportunity to continue our relationship by delivering another great project experience,” said William F. Griffin, Jr., chief executive officer of Gemma.
“We are delighted to announce receiving a notice to proceed on this major project. It has taken time to convert our business development efforts into project starts and we appreciate the patience our shareholders have shown us,” said Rainer Bosselmann, chairman and chief executive officer of Argan.
