October marks the one-year anniversary of Kiewit starting work at the Homer City Energy Campus on the natural gas-fired power plant.
Over the last 12 months, Kiewit has lead demolition and construction efforts on the 3,200-acre site. Vertical construction began in April of 2026 and completed demolition and excavation efforts in June of 2026 ahead of schedule. So far, the project has recycled over 110,000 tons of scrap materials. Kiewit recently has overseen the installation of the first two heat recovery steam generators which have been brought to the site in the superload convoys. All the progress was made while maintaining a zero-OSHA-recordable incidents record.
The company has also made significant efforts to hire local people and provide hands-on training opportunities for apprentices who are working alongside experienced workers at the facility.
In a statement, Homer City Generation CEO Corey Hessen called Kiewit a “valuable partner in bringing the Homer City Energy Campus to life, keeping us on schedule while maintaining an exceptional safety record,” and also commended their work to help with charitable efforts, including the Kiewit Cares Charity Golf Tournament last month.
Kiewit Vice President Brian Reinhart said they are proud of the work done so far, and “look forward to carrying that momentum through construction and delivering a facility that will create local job opportunities.”
