US-based project management services provider Bechtel has secured an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from Advanced Power to build the 140MWdc Cutlass Solar Project in Texas.
To be built on a 700-acre site in Fort Bend, the solar power project is Bechtel’s fourth project and first renewable facility to be delivered for Advanced Power.

The project is estimated to create more than 200 jobs during the peak construction phase.
Once operational in 2022, the project is expected to power nearly 15,000 homes while offsetting 300,000 metrics tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Advanced Power CEO Tom Spang said: “The Cutlass Solar Project represents the next chapter for our organisation as we continue to work to advance a sustainable energy future. We are proud to have Bechtel on this journey and to build off existing solar expertise.”
As part of the global mission to reduce CO2 emissions, Advanced Power and Bechtel are committed to produce low-carbon energy.
