Under the terms of the balance-of-plant (BOP) EPC contract, Black & Veatch, a global provider of renewable energy solutions, will deliver the Cardinal Point Wind Project, a new 150-MW onshore wind facility that will be located on privately-owned lands in McDonough and Warren Counties, Illinois.

“Sustainability and resilience have become market drivers that are reshaping how the industry views the economics of renewable energy,” said Dave Leligdon, Global Director of Black & Veatch’s renewable energy group. “Growing demand for wind and solar PV and the need to integrate renewable solutions with conventional generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure have changed the dynamics of the power market and are introducing incredible new opportunities.”

The project underscores Black & Veatch’s expertise in wind execution and comes as the company completes a recent reorganization of its Power business to more nimbly address the growing renewable energy market. Under the new vertical, Black & Veatch will provide full spectrum services to EPC solutions across the entire project life cycle – including early-stage development and project implementation – for onshore wind, repowering and offshore wind applications.

“This project builds upon Black & Veatch’s expertise in onshore wind and other renewable energy efforts,” said Ali Assaf, Senior Regional General Manager for Black & Veatch. “The resulting wind farm will not only expand Capital Power’s generation capabilities, but it will help support its vision of providing its customers with affordable, clean and reliable energy for decades to come.”
