The Shaw Group announced this morning that it has been awarded a contract by FirstEnergy Corp. to implement an air quality control program for 22 coal-fired units at eight sites in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The units represent more than 11,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, according to Shaw, which will provide the engineering, procurement and construction management for modern air quality control technologies to help reduce emissions including sulfur dioxide, mercury, particulate and hydrogen chloride. “Shaw expects to play an integral role in helping power generators develop and implement compliance strategies that will meet federal and local air regulations,” says Shaw’s Power Group president, Eli Smith, in a statement. Shaw says it has performed emissions retrofits on more than 40,000 megawatts worth of generation over the past 10 years.
