15 September 2008 — At 564 MW, Sierra Pacific Resources' Frank A. Tracy Combined Cycle Plant is the largest power project constructed in northern Nevada in 24 years and will reduce the state's dependence on expensive power purchases from out-of-state suppliers.

The project achieved a significant safety milestone by expending 1.5 million safe work hours during construction with zero lost-time accidents.

The principal contractor for the Tracy project was LG Constructors, a CH2M HILL subsidiary, for engineering procurement and construction services. The $467 million project employed about 500 tradespersons during construction. CH2M HILL was also responsible for start-up, testing, and initial operation of the facility.
