CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Babcock Wilcox Company (BW) (NYSE:BWC) announced

consortium that includes its Babcock Wilcox Power Generation Group,
Inc. (BW PGG) subsidiary has been awarded a contract by Colorado
Springs Utilities to engineer, procure, construct and commission an

emissions from the Nixon Power Plant," said Daniel Higgins, interim
general manager of Colorado Springs Utilities' Energy Supply Department.

supports Colorado Springs Utilities' goal to bring best-value solutions
for our customers to meet emissions control regulations."

Mark Low, senior vice president, BW PGG Global Services Division, said,

Springs Utilities.

viability of the U.S. coal fleet, and BW PGG offers a full suite of
technology options to assist utilities and industry in meeting emissions
standards."

The project is currently in the design phase, with construction slated
