IEA to build 150 MW Boiling Springs wind project in Oklahoma

Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc has been commissioned to build a US$50 million wind farm in Oklahoma. 

The award is for the construction of the Boiling Springs Wind Farm in Woodward County in northwest Oklahoma. The 148 MW of power generated by the project’s planned 60 GE WTG turbines will be delivered into the Oklahoma electrical grid.

Work on the Boiling Springs project is scheduled to begin in November with full operation by December 2020. The scope of IEA’s work will include the construction of project roads, WTG foundations, the MV collection system, 138kV project substation, and a 10.7-mile, 138kV transmission line.

The contract was secured by IEA Constructors, a division of IEA that manages utility-scale energy and heavy civil infrastructure projects.

RWE Renewables Americas LLC, a division of German-based RWE AG, is the lead developer on the project. The company develops, owns, and operates renewable energy projects across the United States. Its parent, RWE AG, is among the world’s largest owners of renewable power projects
