September 30, 2021 – Lakeland Electric has awarded Sargent & Lundy a contract for the engineering, procurement, and construction management (EpCM) services of a new 120-MW reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) plant to be located on the existing McIntosh Power Plant site in Lakeland, Florida. Lakeland Electric selected Sargent & Lundy to perform this work based on excellent past project performance, central Florida presence, and industry-leading credentials for high-quality, cost effective RICE power plants, which includes multiple other sites in Florida.
MAN Energy Solutions will supply 6 x 18V51/60G engines with the highest power output in the market, along with the major power island auxiliaries to Lakeland Electric based on Sargent & Lundy’s developed specifications.
The new, highly-efficient facility will run on natural gas and replace a recently retired coal-fired plant. This project will significantly contribute to Lakeland Electric’s commitment to providing safe, flexible, fast-response generation that pairs well with solar. Sargent & Lundy’s involvement further solidifies its role as a top engineering firm in the domestic RICE market.
The project is scheduled for commercial operation in late 2023.
