Becthel Workers Honored at Celebration of Power Facility
Event Honors Employees Building Russell City Energy Center
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/13/11 -- More than 200 Bechtel construction workers were honored during an event to celebrate construction of the Russell City Energy Center (RCEC) in Hayward, California. Bechtel is the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for the 620-megawatt, combined-cycle facility. The celebration was hosted by the project's owners, Calpine Corporation and GE Energy Financial Services, and included state and local leaders.
"Wherever we work, our goal is to make a positive contribution in the community and Russell City is no exception," said Alasdair Cathcart, president of Bechtel's power business. "We are pleased to be working with Calpine and GE to bring jobs and reliable, cleaner energy to the Bay Area."
When complete, RCEC will be part of a new generation of clean power generation facilities that utilize state-of-the-art emissions control equipment. It will be up to 40% more efficient than comparable older technology power plants operating today and will help California meet its demand for clean energy. The project is scheduled to be finished in 2013.
