Spotlights Kiewit's Role in Local Job Creation and Community Partnerships

Highlights $250,000 Recently Raised by Kiewit and Homer City Generation for the Indiana County Community Action Program, Indiana County Endowment, and American Cancer Society of Western Pennsylvania

INDIANA COUNTY, Pa., October 20, 2026--Homer City Generation, L.P. ("HCG"), today announced that October 2026 marks the one-year anniversary of Kiewit Power Constructors Co. ("Kiewit") beginning work on site on the Homer City Energy Campus as the project's Engineering, Procurement, and Construction ("EPC") partner. Over the past year, Kiewit has led demolition and construction on the 3,200-acre site while building a workforce of more than 2,000 skilled tradespeople and contractors — a majority of whom are hired from Pennsylvania.

The announcement comes several weeks after Kiewit and Homer City Generation held the Inaugural Kiewit Cares Charity Golf Tournament at which they raised $250,000 in total for three local charities: the Indiana County Community Action Program (ICCAP), the Indiana County Endowment, and the American Cancer Society of Western Pennsylvania.

Accelerating Construction and Completing Demolition Ahead of Schedule

Kiewit began vertical construction on the site in April 2026 with the first structure to rise on the campus, and completed demolition and excavation efforts in June 2026, ahead of schedule. This work included recycling over 112,000 tons of scrap materials, excavating approximately 3 million cubic yards of material – roughly the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza – and using advanced engineering methods such as robotics in structural demolition to ensure worker safety and operational efficiency. More recently, Kiewit oversaw the installation of the first two heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) – which were transported to the Homer City Energy Campus beginning in September 2026 – as well as the setting of the first gas turbine on its foundation.

Scaling Local Hiring While Maintaining a Safety Record of Zero-OSHA-Recordable Incidents

All of this progress was accomplished while maintaining an exceptional safety record of zero-OSHA-recordable incidents to date – a record that speaks to Homer City Generation and Kiewit's shared respect for safety as the number one priority throughout all aspects of the project.

At the local level, Kiewit has made significant efforts to hire locally, creating good-paying, family-sustaining jobs for Pennsylvania's skilled tradespeople and providing hands-on training opportunities for apprentices who are working alongside experienced journeymen at the Homer City Energy Campus.
