The Challenge
Commission 122 turbines with no grid power
A wind farm in the USA wanted 122 turbines constructed and fully operational within four months to qualify for a tax credit – a very tight timeframe. And it was made even trickier by the fact that grid power wasn’t scheduled for switch-on until later in the year.
To get these turbines commissioned in time for the tax credit, the wind farm needed a reliable source of backfeed power, and fast, so they called us in to help.

A great team effort. It goes to show how the right people working together can quickly get a complex power package installed in a remote environment.
