Clean energy technology company NET Power has selected construction company Zachry Group to construct its first utility-scale clean power plant.
As part of the agreement, Zachry Group will offer front-end engineering design (FEED) and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services.
The project is claimed to be the world’s first large-scale gas-fired power plant with near-zero emissions.
FEED work is being carried out at Zachry’s Houston Engineering office, which is set for completion in 2024.
The work is based on NET Power’s earlier plant design and testing at its La Porte demonstration facility.
EPC work is scheduled to start shortly, according to NET Power.
