Engineering giant SNC-Lavalin has won a contract to build a natural gas plant in the United States.
The Montreal-based company says it will construct the Keys Energy Center project, a 755-megawatt facility, in Prince George's County, Md.
PSEG Power, which acquired the operation last month, has said it will cost between $825 million to $875 million to build.
SNC-Lavalin says about 700 jobs are expected during construction and the plant will require more than 20 employees once it opens in 2018.
