The scope of IEA’s work on both Las Majadas and Coyote Wind will include wind-turbine installation, public road maintenance and repairs, turbine access roads, and MV collection system installation.
Construction company, Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives (IEA), announced two new wind energy project awards valued at about $150 million. EDF Renewables North America is the lead developer on both projects, which include:
1. Las Majadas Wind Farm in Willacy County in, southern Texas. This will be an approximate 272-MW project that is expected to provide enough energy to power up to 77,000 average Texas homes. The power generated by the project’s planned 125 Vestas turbines will be delivered into the Texas electrical grid. Construction on the Las Majadas project is scheduled to begin in July with full operation by October 2020.
2. Coyote Wind Farm in Scurry County, about 260 miles west of Dallas, TX. This will be an approximate 242-MW project with 59 Siemens Gamesa turbines. The power generated by Coyote Wind will also be delivered into the Texas electrical grid and is expected to power up to 65,500 homes. Construction on Coyote Wind is slated to begin in July and finish in September 2020.
“Both of these projects exemplify the robust demand for clean energy, including wind projects, that we are seeing in 2019,” said JP Roehm, IEA’s Chief Executive Officer. “The shift to renewable energy across North America is an enduring movement that will drive large and important construction projects for many years to come.”
To date, IEA has assembled more than 7,200 wind turbines across 35 states.
