IEA to construct 300 MW Lincoln Land Wind project in Morgan County

Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (IEA) has been awarded a wind construction contract valued at approximately US$100 million. Apex Clean Energy awarded the Lincoln Land project to White Construction, a subsidiary of IEA that manages utility-scale renewable energy and heavy civil infrastructure projects.

The award is for the construction of a 300 megawatt (MW) utility-scale wind farm in Morgan County, Illinois. Construction on the Lincoln Land Wind farm is expected to begin in January 2021, with an anticipated completion date in late 2021. Apex will manage the construction of the project, while IEA will self-perform all of the engineering, procurement and construction needs, including the construction of project roads, the improvement of nearby public roads, the installation of collection systems, foundations, and substations for the farm and the erection of 107 GE wind turbine generators on site.
