Progress Energy Florida denied a Jan. 26 Tampa Bay Times report that it plans to cancel an engineering, procurement and construction contract with Shaw Group for a proposed nuclear plant project in Levy County, Fla.
Suzanne Grant, company spokesperson, told ENR by email: “Progress Energy Florida has not stated any intention to cancel the engineering, procurement and construction contract for the Levy County nuclear project.” Instead, she said the company is continuing to pursue a combined operating license [COL] from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which it expects to receive in 2013.
