Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was awarded a
five-year operations and maintenance services contract by Arlington

the company’s new solar photovoltaic (PV) facility in Arizona. Fluor

“Fluor is looking forward to continuing our work on the AVSE II project
as we complete the construction phase and move into operations and
maintenance,” said Matt McSorley, senior vice president of Fluor’s Power
business. “Fluor has a 35-year legacy of providing O&M services to our
customers in the Power sector, and we are pleased to expand our work in
the renewable energy market.”
The nominal 125-megawatt PV facility, which Fluor is currently
constructing, is located on approximately 1,160 acres of land in
Maricopa County, Arizona. When complete, the facility will supply
renewable energy for the region and help reduce dependence on fossil
fuels.
In October 2011, AVSE
II awarded Fluor a lump-sum engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) contract to design and build the facility. Fluor is
also responsible for the EPC of the Centinela Solar Energy Facility,
also owned by LS Power Group, in Southern California.
