Wood has secured a number of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) onshore wind contracts in the USA worth a combined $100m.
The largest of the recently awarded contracts is the next phase in American Electric Power (AEP) Renewables' wind farm development in south-central Kansas, where Wood will provide the entire EPC services for the milestone project. The Flat Ridge 3 wind farm is an extension of the success of Flat Ridge 1 and 2.
The company has also secured an award from Black Hills Energy to support its Corriedale Wind Energy Project in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The utility-scale wind facility will provide the energy resources for Black Hills Energy’s Renewable Ready program, a voluntary subscription program for its commercial and industrial customers and government agencies in South Dakota and Wyoming.
In addition, Wood will deliver four new wind farms in Morrow and Umatilla Counties in Oregon for Orchard Windfarms. The company will be responsible for offloading and constructing the wind turbines, installing the associated collector system and civil and foundation work.
When combined, the projects will see almost 100 turbines installed with a total generating power of 230MW.
