LAS VEGAS - Amec Foster Wheeler has completed the Sempra U.S. Gas & Power and Consolidated Edison Development's 250-megawatt (MW) Copper Mountain Solar 3 project in Boulder City, Nevada.
Amec Foster Wheeler provided engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the photovoltaic (PV) solar plant - one of the largest in the country - which was completed in early 2015.
