Reported scope and milestone
Zachry Group: Duke Energy awarded Zachry the EPC contract on August 6, 2025 for a 1,360-MW 2x1 combined-cycle plant at the existing Roxboro site in North Carolina. Commercial operation was targeted for 2028.
Engineering interpretation
The disclosed turnkey EPC scope includes commissioning and start-up through handover to Duke Energy. The 1,360 MW and 2028 date describe planned capacity and target COD, not completed output.
Delivery responsibilities
An EPC reference defines a contracted combination of engineering, procurement and construction. Its boundaries still matter: field facilities, pipelines and utilities may be one package within a larger development. Construction affiliates and specialist subcontractors retain their stated roles. Quality records, pressure tests, pre-commissioning and handover need to match the actual facilities delivered. A historical project schedule does not become a publication date or establish today’s production. The reference documents the listed work rather than attributing all output, ownership or operation of the wider development to the contractor.
