Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. wins EPC contract for 300 MW Milligan 1 wind farm in US
Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (IEA), a leading infrastructure construction company with specialized energy and heavy civil expertise, has announced a new wind energy project award valued at approximately US$98 million.
The award is for construction of the Milligan 1 Wind Farm in Saline County in southeast Nebraska. This is a 300 megawatt project that is expected to provide enough energy to power up to 115,000 homes. The power generated by the project’s planned 99 turbines will be delivered into the Southwest Power Pool electrical grid.
The wind farm, which is located near Nebraska’s capital city of Lincoln, will draw upon power generated from a combination of Vestas V110, Siemens 129 and Siemens 145 turbines.
Work on the Milligan 1 project is scheduled to begin in September with full operation by November 2020.
EDF Renewables North America is the lead developer on the project.
The scope of IEA’s work on Milligan 1 Wind includes engineering and construction of the turbine foundations, turbine access roads, MV collection system, wind turbine installation and construction of the on-site operations and maintenance building.
