ENGIE North America Awards Two Solar Projects in Virginia
Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. today announced it has been awarded contracts to construct two solar projects in Virginia with a total contract value of $109 million. ENGIE North America (“ENGIE”), a global provider of low-carbon energy and services, has awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contract to IEA Constructors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEA.
Powell’s Creek Solar is a 70-megawatt (MWAC) solar project on 495 acres in Halifax County, Virginia. Construction of the solar photovoltaic (“PV”) generation facility commenced in January 2022 with a targeted completion date in December 2022. ENGIE will furnish the 176,000 solar modules, while IEA will self-perform all the engineering, procurement and construction requirements of the $66 million project, including all civil, mechanical and electrical work.
Sunnybrook Solar is a 51 MWAC solar project in Scottsburg County, Virginia. Construction on the $43 million project commenced in January 2022, with a targeted completion date in December 2022. IEA’s scope of work includes the installation of over 106,000 owner-furnished modules across the 305-acre project and full balance-of-system EPC construction, including all civil, mechanical and electrical work.
With more than 1,400 MW of installed solar capacity throughout the state, Virginia ranks as the fourth largest solar energy producer in the United States. In 2020, the state passed the Virginia Clean Economy Act, landmark legislation that requires the state’s largest utilities to deliver electricity from 100% renewable sources by 2050.
