Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $4.5 billion in Power Industry project starts planned to kick off in second-quarter 2020 in the U.S. Northeast and New England market regions. The Northeast region includes Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, and the New England region includes Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. New England has about $2 billion worth of projects, and the Northeast has $2.5 billion. Solar energy constitutes the leading fuel type by project value, accounting for $1.78 billion in planned projects.
Click on the image at right for a breakdown by fuel type of planned second-quarter project starts in the Northeast and New England market regions.
Among the largest planned solar power projects is NextEra Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) Wintergreen solar facility in Moscow, Maine, about 70 miles northwest of Bangor. The facility is being built on an abandoned military radar station and will use an estimated 660,000 solar modules on a single-axis, balanced-mass tracker system to generate 150 megawatts (MW). Construction is planned to begin this summer and is expected to take about a year to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In spite of solar's leading edge over fuel types, the majority of projects are composed of smaller undertakings of 20 MW or less by companies such as Cypress Creek Renewables (Asheville, North Carolina), which has plans to begin construction on six solar projects in the region, with a combined value of more than $336 million.

While solar leads in overall project value, wind comes in second place, with more than $734 million in projects planned to kick off in the upcoming quarter. Among these is NextEra Energy's 102-MW Eight Point Windfarm near Greenwood, New York, in the southwest of the state. The facility is being built on a 45,500-acre site and will include 31 General Electric (NYSE:GE) 3.46-MW wind turbines. Construction is planned to begin early in the quarter and be completed in first-quarter 2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Hancock County, Maine, Longroad Energy Holdings LLC (Portland, Maine) plans to begin construction on the 72.6-MW Weaver Windfarm in the upcoming quarter. The facility will feature 22 3.3-MW wind turbines. Reed & Reed Incorporated (Woolwich, Maine) is providing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the project, which is expected to take about a year to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
While solar and wind lead by project value, one of the highest-value projects is a natural gas-fired facility: NTE Energy's (Saint Augustine, Florida) Killingly Energy Center in Windham, Connecticut. Burns & McDonnell Incorporated (Kansas City, Missouri) will provide EPC for the 600-MW, combined-cycle power plant. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Washingtonville, Pennsylvania, Talen Energy Corporation (Allentown, Pennsylvania) is preparing to convert two coal-fired units to be co-fired by coal and natural gas at the company's Montour Power Station. The units have a combined generating capacity of 1,540 MW. Worley (North Sydney, Australia) is providing engineering on the boiler modifications, which are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
