SNC-Lavalin to build Alaska power plant

SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. said it had won a contract to build a 183-megawatt thermal power plant in Alaska.

The contract, estimated by an analyst to add around US $180-million to SNC's backlog of work, was awarded by Chugach Electric Association, Alaska's largest electric utility. The natural gas-fired plant will be built in Anchorage.
