Glastonbury construction firm Gemma Power Systems has received a $100 million contract to build a 200-megawatt power plant in Medway, Mass.
Gemma will engineer and build the Simple Cycle Power Plant for Chicago energy firm Exelon Generation Co. Exelon already operates a 173-megawatt oil-fueled power plant on the 70-acre site.
The contract is dependent upon Exelon getting all regulatory approvals for the project.
Gemma has several other power plant construction projects underway, including one in Texas and two in Pennsylvania.
“Exelon is a new customer for us and we’re gratified with the confidence they have shown in us to construct this essential power facility for them,” said William Griffin, CEO of Gemma.
