AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced today that it has received a limited notice to proceed (LNTP) on work for an approximately $130 million air quality control project for a U.S. coal-fired power plant.

It is expected that B&W’s subsidiary, Babcock & Wilcox Construction Co., LLC will execute the construction and installation portion of the project scope.

Key Terms

limited notice to proceed technical
A limited notice to proceed is a short, partial green light from a client that lets a contractor begin specific early work—such as site preparation, ordering long‑lead materials, or hiring crews—before the full contract is signed. For investors it signals that a project is moving from planning toward execution, which can accelerate revenue timing but also exposes the company to early costs and schedule risk if the full contract terms change; think of it as starting the foundation before the final building permit paperwork is complete.
long-lead procurement technical
Procurement of equipment, materials, or services that take a long time to make, test, or deliver and therefore must be ordered early so they don’t delay a project. These items sit on the project’s critical path—like ordering a custom engine for a machine—so their timing, cost, and delivery risk matter to investors because they can affect project schedules, capital tied up, and the likelihood of cost overruns or revenue delays.
baseload power technical
Baseload power is the consistent, reliable electricity output that a power plant or source can provide around the clock to meet the minimum demand on the grid, similar to a factory that runs steadily to keep essential machines humming. For investors, baseload capacity matters because it tends to produce predictable revenue, supports grid stability, and reduces the risk that production will be sidelined when demand dips, making assets and contracts tied to it easier to value.
