Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $5.6 billion in Power Industry projects that are scheduled to kick off in the U.S. Midwest market region from July through September of this year. The region includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. Wind projects dominate the region in terms of project value, and Missouri and Iowa, each with about $1.2 billion in planned project starts, lead in planned spending.

Among the largest projects set to kick off in the region over the quarter is Terra-Gen Power LLC's (San Diego, California) planned 400-megawatt (MW) High Prairie Windfarm near Queen City, Missouri. The project will be constructed on 70,000 acres and will include 175 wind turbine-generators. Construction on the project, which has an estimated total investment value (TIV) of $600 million, would begin this summer, for completion in late 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Iowa generated more than one-third of its power from wind energy in 2018. In line with this, almost all of Iowa's third-quarter project starts are related to wind. Among these is the 200-MW Golden Plains Windfarm, owned by Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:LNT) (Madison, Wisconsin). The facility will be built near Lake Mills, in the north-central portion of the state and will use 81 General Electric (NYSE:GE) wind turbine generators. Along with the windfarm, a collector substation will be constructed near Buffalo Center, Iowa. The substation is slated for completion by the end of this year, and the windfarm will begin operation in the summer of 2020. White Construction (Clinton, Indiana) is providing engineering, procurement and construction on both projects. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the windfarm and substation.
Alliant also will begin construction on the 210-MW Richland Windfarm near Early, Iowa, this summer. The facility will use 84 General Electric 2.5-MW wind turbine generators. Invenergy (Chicago, Illinois) is the director of the project, which has an estimated TIV of $336 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
While the EIA reports that in 2018, Kansas generated a higher percentage of its power from wind than any other state, it's a solar project that shines in the state in the upcoming quarter. Lightsource BP Renewable Energy (San Francisco, California) plans to kick off construction on a 20-MW solar farm near Johnson this summer. The facility will be built on a 240-acre site and will use 86,000 thin-film photovoltaic modules. Construction on the $45 million project is expected to be completed by the end of the year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
With all the renewable energy coming online in the region, it's inevitable that older power stations will be closed. In Chillicothe, Missouri, Chillicothe Municipal Utilities will proceed with the dismantlement and demolition of the 93.5-MW Chillicothe natural gas-fired power station. The generating units were removed earlier, and the remainder of the plant and other associated equipment will be removed. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Transmission and distribution projects are prominent in the region in the quarter, thanks in part to the new renewable energy generation. Directly related to a wind project, TradeWind Energy LLC will begin construction of 20-mile, 345-kilovolt transmission line from the planned Aurora substation to the existing Tande substation in Kansas. While construction on the 300-MW windfarm is not expected to kick off until the fourth quarter, construction on the transmission line and substation will begin in the third quarter, for completion by the end of 2020, before the windfarm commences operation. Burns & McDonnell Incorporated (Kansas City, Missouri) is the manager on the projects. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the windfarm, transmission line and substation.
