Secures Coal, Gas And Renewables Framework With EDF Energy
Amec Foster Wheeler has secured a framework agreement to provide engineering consultancy services to EDF Energy’s Coal, Gas and Renewables (CGR) division, to support its fleet of coal plants, gas- fired (CCGT) power station and gas storage sites. Under the agreement, the company will also support EDF Energy Renewables’ UK wind farms.
Work begins on the Millerhill Energy Centre in Midlothian, Edinburgh
The agreement provides for a construction period of 30 months, and the start of the activity is scheduled for 2019, followed by a term of full operation for the next 25 years.
The plant will treat about 135,000 tonnes of household waste annually and an additional 20,000 tonnes of commercial waste. It will also generate enough electricity each year to meet the energy demand of approximately 32,000 households.
FCC Environment signed a £ 142m contract to design, finance, build and operate the Millerhill Energy and Resource Recovery Centre (RERC), Midlothian, located outside Edinburgh.

The CGR framework has a broad spectrum which covers operations and maintenance, key outage support, technical services, plant modifications and enhancements, new build and decommissioning. Dawn James, Vice President for Generation Services at Amec Foster Wheeler’s Clean Energy business, said:
