Iberdrola, Europe's third largest utility, said Tuesday that its construction unit has been awarded a contract worth 311 million euros (438.5 million US dollars) to build a 403-megawatt combined cycle electrical power plant in Russia.
"It is the company's first big contract in this country, where it opened a commercial office in 2005," Iberdrola said in a statement.
The contract was awarded by Russian group OGK-5 and the plant will be built near the central Russian city of Yekaterinburg in the Ural mountain region. It is expected to be completed in 35 months.
A combined cycle power plant uses a gas turbine to make electricity and the waste heat is used to make steam to generate additional power via a steam turbine.
