Large-Scale Utility Power

Shortly after our establishment in 1867, Babcock & Wilcox
designed the world's first installed utility boiler. B&W boilers
now provide more than 300,000 MW of generating capacity
in approximately 60 countries.

In 1957 when B&W built the world's first commercially

operated supercritical boiler (/en/products/supercritical-boiler),
our designs were instrumental in the advancement of power
generation efficiency. Since then, we've designed and

it revolutionized waste disposal techniques.
