Bouygues issues profit warning over EfW contracts

摘要

Bouygues has warned that profit will be lower in 2018, after becoming the latest contractor to suffer problem jobs in the UK's energy-from-waste (EfW) sector, writes Will Ing. The Paris-based construction giant - which is building two biomass power plants in the UK, including one for AssetGen Partners in Hertfordshire - said in a statement that the jobs had "experienced difficulties during the recent testing and commissioning phases, related mainly to malfunctions on certain equipment, leading to delays, additional costs and compensation paid to customers".
