HOUSTON, June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott
International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) announced today it successfully
achieved substantial completion of Entergy Louisiana's St. Charles
Power Station, a combined-cycle gas power station in Montz, Louisiana. This milestone means the
plant has now been turned over to the owner and has begun
commercial operations.
"McDermott is pleased to announce that the St. Charles Power
Station project is substantially completed and that Entergy
Louisiana has already begun commercial operations," said
Mark Coscio, McDermott's Senior Vice
President for North, Central and South
America. "We were able to deliver this project ahead of
schedule and on budget for Entergy Louisiana, and we continue to
work with Entergy companies on two other projects: Lake Charles
Power Station for Entergy Louisiana and Montgomery County Power
Station for Entergy Texas."
The St. Charles Power Station project is a 980-megawatt
combined-cycle gas turbine power station that is expected to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions on average about 40 percent below
Entergy's older natural gas-fired units. Because of the plant's
high efficiency, Entergy Louisiana estimates the new plant will
result in customer savings of more than $1.3
billion over the anticipated 30-year life of the unit.
