Mortenson selected to build two wind farms in Iowa
Mortenson has been selected by MidAmerican Energy Company to build two wind farms in Iowa (USA) as part of the company’s Wind XI Project, a broader plan to install 2,000 MW of wind energy in the state by 2019. The new Arbor Hill and Ivester wind farms will be Mortenson’s 16th and 17th wind projects built in the state for MidAmerican Energy, adding 341 MW to Iowa’s substantial electric grid.
The scope of work for both projects will include access roads, foundations, collection system installation and erection of the turbines. Mortenson will self-perform all civil and high voltage work associated with these projects.
With the addition of the new wind projects, Mortenson will have installed approximately 3,000 MW of wind energy for MidAmerican Energy, and more than 4,000 MW of wind energy in Iowa over the past 23 years.
