Babcock & Wilcox Secures $21 Million for Fuel Switching Technology Awards; Parts and Services Continues Strong Performance Driven by Increased Baseload Demand AKRON, Ohio--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) (NYSE: BW) announced today that it has recently secured awards of more than $21 million for fuel switching technologies in the United States reflecting the increased utilization of coal and natural gas power plants. This increased demand for power is also driving continued strong performance in the Company’s parts and services business.

“B&W continues to experience strong demand for its parts and services as coal power plants in the United States operate at peak capacity for extended periods to meet baseload generation demand,” said Matthew Taylor, Senior Vice President, B&W Parts and Field Engineering Services.

“These fuel switching projects, which include engineering and material supply, reinforce B&W’s leadership in delivering efficient, reliable coal-to-gas conversion solutions to help customers reduce emissions without compromising plant performance,” said Justin Chenevey, B&W Senior Vice President, Global Projects. “We’re proud to support both industrial and utility clients with customized upgrades that provide greater fuel flexibility and long-term value.”

“This new work follows our successful fourth quarter 2025 conversion of a 100 MW utility boiler from coal to natural gas, delivered ahead of schedule and within budget,” Chenevey added. “We are also currently executing an additional 1200 MW of coal-to-gas conversion projects which are scheduled for completion this year.”

B&W has successfully performed more than 150 boiler conversions, including projects to switch from coal or oil to 100 percent natural-gas-firing systems, as well as adding multi-fuel capabilities, significantly lowering environmental impact while also reducing fuel and plant operating costs.
