Black & Veatch has been selected by Capital Power to provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the 150MW Cardinal Point wind farm in Illinois.
The project will be located on privately-owned land in McDonough and Warren counties.
Black & Veatch has recently reorganised its power business to provide full spectrum services to EPC solutions across the entire project life cycle – including early-stage development and project implementation – for onshore and offshore wind and repowering.
Black & Veatch renewable energy global director Dave Leligdon said: “Sustainability and resilience have become market drivers that are reshaping how the industry views the economics of renewable energy.
“Growing demand for wind and solar PV and the need to integrate renewable solutions with conventional generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure have changed the dynamics of the power market and are introducing incredible new opportunities.”
Capital Power senior vice president, operations, engineering and construction Darcy Trufyn said: “Adding Cardinal Point Wind to Capital Power’s generation assets continues the growth of our renewable portfolio across North America and demonstrates continued execution of this core element of our strategy.
“We are excited to work with Black & Veatch again to deliver this wind power project in Illinois.”
