Fluor Awarded Emissions Control Contract

Fluor has been selected by the Kentucky Utilities Company to install new air emissions control equipment at two of the utility's power plants. Fluor will provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the installation of four new flue gas desulfurization ("FGD") systems at KU's Ghent and E.W. Brown plants in northern and central Kentucky. The contract value to Fluor is more than $500 million.

The FGD systems will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions at the coal-fired plants and allow KU to provide greater value to their customers in Kentucky. Work is under way at the Ghent site where three of the systems will be built. One FGD system will be installed at E.W. Brown, and the total program will be complete in 2009.

"Fluor is pleased to continue its support of Kentucky Utilities' environmental improvement efforts," said Bob Mickey, senior vice president of Fluor's Power group. "Fluor has performed similar services for KU in recent years with the installation of selective catalytic reduction systems."

Kentucky Utilities Company, based in Lexington, provides electricity to more than one-half million customers in 77 Kentucky counties and five counties in Virginia. KU is a subsidiary of LG&E Energy LLC., which is a part of the family of companies of E.ON AG of Düsseldorf, Germany.
