Engineering outfit Wood has won two solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts in the US worth over $200m (€175m).
The projects, with an undisclosed client, are both located in the state of Virginia and will have a combined output of 190MW.
The first project is a 120MW photovoltaic project in Pittsylvania County, expected to be operational in 2022.
The second is a 70MW project in Chesapeake and is expected to be operational in late 2021.
Wood Americas asset solutions business chief executive Stephanie Cox said: “These contracts build on a 10-year relationship with our client, for whom we’ve executed more than 40 projects.
“The awards are testament to our ability to maintain consistent project execution, deliver to accelerated construction schedules and bring forth a strong EPC proposition and skilled workforce to meet our client’s project goals.”
The two PV project contracts follow other recent contract wins, including $100m of onshore wind projects, that will see Wood’s US renewables business double in size in 2020, the company said.
“We are seeing an unstoppable momentum towards a lower-carbon energy environment and Wood is proud to partner with clients that are committed to investing in a sustainable energy future,” Cox added.
