HOUSTON (Jan. 6, 2016) – American Electric Technologies, Inc. has announced that its M&I Electric business has recently been selected to provide a turnkey power delivery solution for a new U.S.-based 700-MW natural gas-fired, combined-cycle power generation facility.
M&I Electric received the $7 million contract from a leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm for this green-field power generation facility, which will provide clean and reliable base load power generated by two natural gas turbines and one steam turbine.
The M&I Electric turnkey solution includes custom-designed low and medium voltage power distribution switchgear and low and medium voltage motor control centers, all deployed within M&I’s custom built, climate-controlled Power Distribution Centers (PDCs).
This project award represents M&I Electric’s first order from this major EPC firm, which selected M&I Electric due to the company’s ability to provide customized and integrated PDCs within a short-cycle delivery time.
"We are very pleased to have been selected to provide power delivery systems to enable this new power generation facility," said Charles Dauber, president and CEO of AETI. "This project exemplifies our mission of Empowering Energy and shows progress in our growth strategy of working with owners and EPC firms within the power generation segment of the global energy industry."
