The contract is valued at about $200m, of which $175m will be included in Foster Wheeler's fourth-quarter 2005 bookings.
Foster Wheeler has already carried out some activities, including engineering and procurement services as well as placing purchase orders for pressure parts materials.
A booking of about $25m was included in the company's third-quarter 2005 bookings relating to these activities.
"This boiler island represents a double world-first: the world's largest CFB boiler and the world's first supercritical CFB unit," said Bernard Cherry, Chief Executive Officer of Foster Wheeler's Global Power Group.
"The project marks a crucial step forward in bringing our CFB boiler technology to utility scale".
The Lagisza unit, due for start-up at the beginning of 2009, will be built alongside PKE's existing 840MWe power station at Lagisza, and is part of an ongoing programme by PKE, one of Poland's largest electricity utilities, to replace outdated capacity with modern, high-efficiency, environmentally friendly technologies.
