HOUSTON, Feb. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Electric Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AETI), a leading provider of power delivery solutions for the global energy industry, announced today that its M&I Electric business has recently been selected to provide turnkey power delivery solutions for two power generation facilities in the United States.
M&I Electric received two contracts from a leading power delivery solutions firm. The first contract is for a new 200 MW dual-fuel, simple-cycle, quick-start power generation facility located in the northeast United States which will operate as one of the cleanest peak-load plants in the nation.
