Wadsworth, Texas (May 14, 2007) – On track to be among the first nuclear construction in the
United States in nearly 30 years, The South Texas Project selected Sargent & Lundy LLC, a
leading engineering consulting firm, as its owner’s engineer to assist in the plant’s proposed
expansion project.
“Sargent & Lundy’s robust, multi-disciplined engineering staff will provide the depth we need.

track record. Their seasoned managers and employees with nuclear construction experience and
construction management skills will complement STP’s existing team of experts.” said Kevin

First announced in June 2006 by NRG Energy, an owner of STP, the expansion project will involve

highest producing reactor in the world. With the additional generation capabilities provided by two
new reactors, STP will double its capacity to provide safe, reliable and environmentally protective
electricity to approximately two million homes.
“Our first priority is to continue the safe and reliable operation of Units 1 and 2. We will continue
that same level of excellence by setting the industry standard in the licensing and construction of
new units. Adding Sargent & Lundy to our team will help greatly in achieving that objective,” said
STP President and CEO James Sheppard.
"We appreciate STP’s confidence in the high quality of our nuclear engineering capabilities and we
are pleased to support their vision to the continued production of environmentally sound, affordable
and safe electricity," said Bud Wendorf, Sargent & Lundy Chairman and CEO.
