Work on the Middletown Energy Centre project is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2018.

Ohio power plant is one of two similar projects that GPS has been contracted to undertake for NTE. The second power plant will be built in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, for NTE Carolinas.

Requiring similar components to the Middletown Energy Centre project, the Kings Mountain Energy Centre project is expected to be released this month and will be completed in late 2018.

GPS has won several EPC contracts in the last few months, to construct nearly 3,000MW of natural gas-fired generation power plants in five states across the US.
