Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The U.S. Midwest is set to kick off $46.5 billion in projects in 2018. While some of these will be placed on hold or cancelled, other projects will be added throughout the year. The Midwest region includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Power Industry, with more than $23.9 billion in planned spending, dominates the region's spending, thanks largely to a number of proposed windfarms. This is followed in a distant second by Industrial Manufacturing, with $6.6 billion in planned spending, and Oil and Gas Pipelines, with $5.1 billion in planned spending.

Among the largest planned windfarms is Phase I of the Hartland Windfarm near Minot, North Dakota. The initial phase will have a generating capacity of approximately 500 megawatts (MW), and will use 200 to 312 1.5-MW to 2.5-MW wind turbine-generators. The project would take about two years to complete. Michels Wind Energy (Brownsville, Wisconsin) is acting as project manager. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report on Phase I of the Hartland Windfarm.
Also on the books is the $900 million Solomon Forks Windfarm near Colby, Kansas. The project, being developed by Infinity Renewables (Broomfield, Colorado), could be completed by the end of the year. The windfarm would have a generating capacity of 460 MW. Earlier this year, Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) (Minneapolis, Minnesota) agreed to purchase 100 MW of power from the windfarm to offset power for 150 retails stores in the region. M.A. Mortenson Company (Minneapolis) is performing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Two rail projects in Minnesota dominate 2018 planned spending in the Industrial Manufacturing Industry. The $1.86 billion Green Line extension in Minneapolis will include 14.5 miles of double-track light rail with 15 stations from downtown Minneapolis through surrounding communities. The project is planned for completion in early 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. The 13-mile Blue Line extension will include 11 stations and carry passengers to the region's northwest suburbs. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report. Kimley-Horn and Associates (Saint Paul, Minnesota) is performing engineering on both projects.
Also in the Industrial Manufacturing Industry is Apple Incorporated's (NASDAQ:AAPL) (Cupertino, California) $1.36 billion data center in Waukee, Iowa. The 400,000-square-foot facility will serve as a data management site for the company's Siri, FaceTime and iMessages services. The project is planned to take about two years to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Among the largest Oil & Gas Pipeline projects planned to kick off next year is Enbridge Incorporated's (NYSE:ENB) (Calgary, Alberta) $7 billion Line 3 replacement program, which will replace crude oil pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta, to Superior, Wisconsin. When completed, the line will carry 830,000 barrels per day of crude oil. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Minnesota and North Dakota segments of the pipeline. Last week, Enbridge announced its strategic plan through 2020, which includes C$22 billion (US$17 billion) in capital spending over the next three years.
