Balfour Beatty shares rose 2.7% after the company said it won a £833 million contract to help build the world's first gas-fired power station for Net Zero Teeside Power, a joint venture between BP and Equinor.
The British construction firm said that the completed power station is expected to produce enough low-carbon power for more than one million average U.K. homes.
The London-listed company will be working alongside French engineering company Technip Energies and U.S. firm GE Vernova to build the gas power station.
