Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Wind-energy projects in the U.S. heartland are the biggest players in a bevy of renewable projects across the country that are scheduled to begin construction next month. Solar-energy projects also are popping up, particularly along the East Coast. Industrial Info is tracking more than $8.6 billion in renewable power-generation projects that are set to begin construction in June, with more than $7.5 billion worth attributed to grassroot projects.

Windfarms have become a big business--and a top employer--in the line of states running up the middle of the continental U.S., where the climate and flat terrain combine to create a haven for strong winds; this area is often dubbed "Tornado Alley." At the southern end of the unofficial designation is Texas, where Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (Copenhagen, Denmark) is investing in two such facilities: the estimated $330 million Blue Cloud Windfarm in Sudan, Texas, which is designed to generate 200 megawatts (MW) from 58 Vestas turbines, and the $80 million Bearkat Renewable Energy Project in Garden City, which would generate 197 MW from 47 Vestas turbines.
The Blue Cloud project is just south of the Texas Panhandle, where FGE Power LLC (The Woodlands, Texas) is at work on the estimated $412.5 million Goodnight Windfarm in Claude, which would generate 252 MW from 70 Vestas turbines, and supply energy to the grid via a $10 million substation. The Bearkat and Goodnight windfarms are expected to finish construction toward the end of the year, while Blue Cloud is expected to wrap up next summer. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Blue Cloud, Bearkat, Goodnight and Goodnight's substation.
In the heart of the U.S., Apex Clean Energy Incorporated (Charlottesville, Virginia) is planning to start construction on the estimated $480 million Neosho Ridge Windfarm in Galesburg, Kansas, while NextEra Energy Incorporated (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) is planning the estimated $360 million Pioneer Creek Windfarm in Spearville, Kansas. The projects are expected to generate 302.5 and 200 MW, respectively, from turbines provided by General Electric (NYSE:GE) (Boston, Massachusetts). NextEra also is preparing to begin construction on the $320 million Burke County Wind Energy Center in Powers Lake, North Dakota, which will draw 200 MW from 76 GE turbines. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Neosho Ridge, Pioneer Creek and Powers Lake projects.
Illinois typically is not included in "Tornado Alley," but some meteorologists have theorized that the area may be shifting eastward, with higher occurrences in the Southeast and Great Lakes regions in recent years. EDP Renewables North America, a subsidiary of Energias de Portugal S.A. (EDP) (Lisbon, Portugal), is preparing to begin construction on its $400 million Bright Stalk Windfarm near Chenoa, Illinois, which is designed to generate 200 MW from 58 Vestas turbines. It is projected to finish construction early next year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
If wind-energy projects are clustered toward the center of the continental U.S., solar-energy projects (at least those set to kick off in June) are tilted heavily east of the Mississippi River. AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) (Arlington, Virginia) is preparing to kick off the $480 million second phase of its Pleinmont Solar Plant near Thornburg, Virginia, which will generate 240 MW from photovoltaic (PV) modules. The new phase, which will bring the facility's full generation to 500 MW, is set to be completed in first-quarter 2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Invenergy LLC (Chicago, Illinois) is gearing up for its estimated $100 million Richfield Solar Plant in Hurlock, Maryland, designed to generate 50 MW, and Energy Development Partners (Providence, Rhode Island) is ready to kick off its $79.2 million solar-power facility in West Greenwich, Rhode Island , designed to generate 40 MW. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Maryland and Rhode Island projects.
