Pasadena-based Jabobs Engineering Group Inc. said Tuesday it had been awarded an EDF Energy contract to provide project management resources for the company’s entire British nuclear plant fleet, which includes eight nuclear power stations and two technical centers.
Jacobs said it would provide “a range of project management and engineering resources to support EDF Energy’s program of maintenance and life extension projects to 15 nuclear reactors across the Dungeness, Hartlepool, Heysham 1 and 2, Hinkley Point, Hunterston, Sizewell and Torness power stations, as well as the East Kilbride and Gloucester technical centers."
The eight power stations have a combined capacity of almost 8.8 million kilowatts.
The value of the deal was not disclosed.
Jacobs Group Vice President Bob Duff stated, “We are delighted to continue supporting EDF Energy on this major program of nuclear power investment in the UK. Jacobs is one of the UK’s largest service providers in the field of nuclear engineering and science. We look forward to contributing significant expertise, local knowledge and global resource to help deliver safe, robust solutions across these important assets.”
EDF Energy is one of the UK’s largest energy companies and the largest producer of low-carbon electricity, producing around one-fifth of the nation’s electricity.
Jacobs is currently providing a wide range of services to the EDF Group for projects in the UK and Europe. These include technical and engineering services in support of EDF Energy’s UK Nuclear New Build program and environmental services in support of the 2000 megawatt Cottam and West Burton coal-fired stations in the UK.
