Doosan Babcock have been selected to complete the £154 million Glasgow Recycling & Renewable Energy Centre (GRREC) project.

Interserve was previously in charge of the scheme. However, it was served with a notice of termination in November 2016 by developer Viridor due to a series of costs and delays.

The Glasgow-based firm are currently finalising an assessment and project plan at the site.

In a statement, Viridor's parent company, Pennon, said: "They have been chosen for their experience in delivering large capital projects in the energy and power space. This follows the decision to terminate the EPC contract with Interserve due to repeated delays in the completion of GREEC, for which Viridor has contractual remedies.

"The client, Glasgow City Council, has been consulted throughout this period of change, and is supportive of Viridor's actions and the revised plan for completion."
