Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $3.1 billion in Power Industry projects that are slated to kick off in third-quarter 2019 in Texas. Renewable energy projects account for $2.7 billion of this planned spending, with wind and solar being the dominant fuel types.

Third-quarter wind project starts in Texas account for more than $1.88 billion in planned spending, helping cement Texas' position as the largest generator of wind power in the U.S. Among the largest of these is EDF Renewables North America's (San Diego, California) grassroot Las Majadas Windfarm near Raymondville, in the southern tip of the state. The facility will use 113 Vestas 2.2-megawatt (MW) wind turbine generators to generate about 249 MW. Construction is set to kick off this summer, for completion toward the end of 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Juno Beach, Florida-based NextEra Energy Incorporated (NYSE:NEE) is also getting in on Texas wind power in the coming quarter with the construction of the 80-MW Bonita I and 150-MW Bonita II windfarms in the north of the state. Bonita I will use 40 Vestas 2-MW wind turbine generators, and Bonita II will use 75 turbines. Construction on both windfarms is set to begin later in the quarter, for completion in the summer of 2020. The projects have a combined total investment value (TIV) of $400 million. Wanzek Construction Incorporated (Coral Gables, Florida) will provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) on both projects. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Bonita I and Bonita II.
Industrial Info also is tracking several planned repower projects at existing Texas windfarms. Among these is EDF Renewables' repower of the Trinity Hill Windfarm near Archer. The project entails replacing 90 vintage wind turbine generators with 102 Vestas 2.2-MW turbines to generate 224.4 MW. Construction is set to begin this summer and should take about a year to complete. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Planned solar power project spending in Texas in the third quarter accounts for about $810 million in projects. Among the planned projects is LendLease Infrastructure Services' (Irving, Texas) development of a grassroot 200-MW solar farm near Nazareth, in the state's panhandle. The photovoltaic modules will use a single-axis tracking system. Construction on the $280 million project should wrap up in the summer of 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
In Fort Bend County, near Houston, Black & Veatch Incorporated (Overland Park, Kansas) will kick off construction this summer on a grassroot 200-MW solar farm. Black & Veatch is both the owner and EPC contractor on the project, which has an estimated TIV of $170 million. The facility will use 700,000 thin-film photovoltaic solar panels on a single-axis tracking system. Construction is set to wrap up by the end of 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
The new generation comes with the additional need for power transmission and distribution (T&D) projects. Among the T&D projects relating directly to renewable energy projects is CenterPoint Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:CNP) (Houston, Texas) construction of a substation and transmission line tie-in for the Fort Bend County solar project. The projects will be constructed in conjunction with the solar farm. The substation will be built near Beasley and will include two 138-kilovolt transformers. The transmission line tie-in will feature a double-circuit line running from the solar farm to tie into the East Bernard-Orchard transmission line. The projects have a combined TIV of more than $7 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the substation and transmission line tie-in.
