This 200-MW solar generation facility is one of the first photovoltaic projects to utilize the solar production tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act.
This project’s scope included the construction of a carbon capture and liquefaction facility and a combined heat and power (CHP) plant at the client’s existing ethanol production facility.
A 345-kV switchyard and gen-tie span serves as a hub for power transmission, distribution and control, while also supporting the integration of renewable energy and ensuring grid reliability.
In addition to the complexity of integrating advanced energy technologies such as geothermal into a century-old historic building, the project was made even more complicated by the need to move a 12,000-lb drilling rig below grade into a subfloor below the basement with no elevator service.
As part of an effort to help Maersk expand its presence in the U.S., design-builder Primus Builders constructed an $85.7-million, 295,000-sq-ft cold storage distribution facility for cold storage real estate developer RL Cold.
One of Southern California’s largest energy storage systems is now operational, providing clean power and improved grid resiliency across southwest Los Angeles.
With three buildings to house mechanical equipment and four thermal energy storage (TES) tanks, this all-electric thermal plant centralizes delivery of renewable energy to Google’s adjacent offices.
