Established in early 2026 through the combination of three separate Bechtel Enterprises teams focused on renewable, thermal and nuclear power, respectively, the Global Power Development (GPD) team seeks to be responsive to market demands for both firm and intermittent power resources, following market signals without internal preference for a particular generation technology. The GPD strategy is focused primarily on developments in the U.S., but certain other global markets could be in scope, so long as there is clear, upfront alignment with the strategy of the relevant Bechtel Global Business Unit (GBU).
