The unit will be owned by SRP and operated by Tucson Electric.
The award will be included in Foster Wheeler's second-quarter 2006 bookings.
This is the second boiler supplied by Foster Wheeler for the Springerville Generating Station.
The previous 400MWe boiler, supplied to an ownership team including SRP, is currently in the startup phase.
"As a repeat client, we are confident that Foster Wheeler is the right boiler supplier for our Springerville expansion project".
"We know that Foster Wheeler stands behind its commitments", said Bill Rihs, SRP's manager of new generation projects.
The boiler will incorporate Foster Wheeler's low-NOx burner and selective catalytic reduction technologies to cleanly burn low-sulphur Powder River Basin coal and other local western fuels.
"The award of a second boiler to a customer is, in many ways, more significant than the award of the first boiler".
"It underscores SRP's confidence in our ability to deliver a quality product at a competitive price that meets or exceeds all of SRP's high standards", said James Crumm, President and CEO of Foster Wheeler North America Corp.
Construction of the facility is expected to begin in the fall of 2006, with commercial operation scheduled for December 2009.
