Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--M.A. Mortenson Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota) is one of the leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms in the U.S. Since renewable energy projects have become increasingly prevalent, the company has grown into one of the premier renewable energy constructors in the U.S., although projects such as data centers and pharmaceutical-biotech also feature in the company's activity.
Power projects, mostly for wind and solar power, account for more than $17 billion in Mortenson's EPC activities. Easily the largest such Mortenson project is the Sierra Madre and Chokecherry windfarms near Rawlins, Wyoming. The huge windfarms are adjacent to one another and are often discussed as a single project. Each windfarm will include 500 turbines rated at 3 megawatts (MW) each, to provide 1,500 MW of power output each and a combined 3,000 MW. M.A. Mortenson began construction on the windfarms in 2022 and is expected to be completed with the project in 2027. Construction of the transmission line associated with the project that will help deliver the power to Southern California broke ground this summer. The two windfarm projects have a combined value of more than $5 billion. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can learn more by viewing the project reports on the Sierra Madre and Chokecherry windfarms.
Mortenson is at work on several other more moderately sized wind projects, such as NextEra Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) Inertia Windfarm near Haskell, Texas, about 50 miles north of Abilene. Construction began early last year and upon completion, the facility will use 108 wind turbines, each rated between 2.52 and 2.82 MW, to achieve generation of more than 300 MW. Mortenson is expected to wrap up the project next summer. Subscribers can click here to learn more.
While the number and value of wind projects in Mortenson's portfolio exceed that of solar energy, Mortenson nevertheless has about $4 billion worth of active solar projects in its portfolio that are in various stages of development. In Fort Bend County, Texas, outside of Houston, Mortenson is at work on the Fighting Jay solar farm, construction of which began in 2021. The project involves establishing more than 1 million solar panels to achieve nameplate generation of 350 MW. The project, being constructed for Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (Copenhagen, Denmark), is expected to wrap up next year. Subscribers can click here for more information.
But power projects aren't the only type of projects seeing activity from Mortenson. Nearing completion in De Kalb, Illinois, is the Phase II expansion of a data center for Meta Platforms Incorporated (NASDAQ:META) (Menlo Park, California). This final phase of the facility includes erecting three data center buildings totaling approximately 900,000 square feet and housing associated infrastructure to enhance Meta's data services for its popular platforms such Facebook and Instagram.

Mortenson also is at work on a handful of pharma-biotech projects. In Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, Mortenson is constructing a facility for the Medical College of Wisconsin. The five-story, approximately 150,000-square-foot building will be equipped for research into cancer. Mortenson is expected to work on the project through next year, putting the finishing touches on it in 2025. Subscribers can click here for more information.
In Casa Grande, Arizona, between Phoenix and Tucson, Mortenson is nearing completion on two very different projects. The first of these is for the construction of a grassroot electronics-grade chemical plant for Chang Chun Group (Taipei, Taiwan). Construction is wrapping up, and when done, the facility will produce chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and tetramethylammonium hydroxide.

Mortenson's other Casa Grande project is for a plumbing fixtures manufacturing plant for Kohler Company (Kohler, Wisconsin). Construction began in 2022 and entails putting up an approximately 1 million-square-foot facility to manufacture Kohler's Sterling-branded Vikrell bathtubs and shower stalls. Mortenson is expected to be completed with the project early next year. Subscribers can click here for the project details.
