TULSA, Okla. -- PSEG Power has awarded Matrix Service Co. subsidiary Matrix NAC the balance of plant aboveground electrical construction work at PSEG's new 540-megawatt combined-cycle power facility, Sewaren 7, in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
The project was awarded in December 2016 with plans for the facility to come on line by summer 2018.
"We take great pride in our long-standing relationship with PSEG, which reaches back some 70 years, and value the trust they have in our ability to meet their exacting standards of safety and quality," said John R. Hewitt, CEO of Matrix Service Co. "This significant project award is also meaningful from a strategic perspective as we continue to provide critical construction services in the power generation segment."
The project was awarded in December 2016, with plans for the facility to come on line by summer 2018.
Sewaren 7 will replace older generating units with cleaner, more efficient technology, bringing greater reliability and environmentally responsible energy to New Jersey.
Sewaren 7 represents an investment of more than $600 million. The plant will run primarily on clean, efficient natural gas, but can also run on ultra-low-sulfur distillate fuel oil as a backup fuel, ensuring exceptional dependability. Both types of fuel are readily available. Sawaren 7 replaces Sewaren Units 1, 2, 3 and 4, which will be retired after almost 70 years of providing energy to New Jersey.
Founded in 1984, Matrix Service Co. is parent to a family of companies that includes Matrix Service, Matrix NAC, Matrix PDM Engineering and Matrix Applied Technologies. Its subsidiaries design, build and maintain infrastructure critical to North America's energy, power and industrial markets.
