Exus Renewables North America has begun the repowering of the 139 MW Twin Ridges Wind Farm in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The Twin Ridges repowering project involves replacing the nacelles and blades of the existing wind turbines while retaining the towers and foundations. The repowering will result in a 30% increase in energy generation for the project. “As the wind energy industry faces increasingly complex obstacles to growth, including a nearly 3 GW interconnection queue of renewable energy projects trying to connect to the grid, repowering has become a path to help meet clean energy goals,” said Jim Spencer, CEO of Exus Renewables North America. “Thanks to these upgrades, the Twin Ridges project will generate clean, reliable and renewable power – and millions in community investment – to the region for decades to come.” Exus Renewables will invest approximately $200 million in the project, creating 150 union construction jobs. It expects to inject over $7.35 million into the local economy through the procurement of materials and services from local suppliers and anticipates that over the 30-year life of the project, more than $100 million will be invested in the community through tax and landowner payments. Vestas-American Wind Technology, Inc. will supply American-made nacelles, hubs, blades, and tower adaptors for the project. #cleanenergy

#DYK Vineyard Wind 1 is already delivering power to the New England grid? In January, Vineyard Wind 1 began supplying electricity to the New England grid, improving reliability on the edge of New England’s transmission system. As a key part of the region's energy infrastructure, Vineyard Wind taps into the abundant #offshorewind resources of the Atlantic Ocean, diversifying New England's energy mix and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

#FlashBackFriday: Twenty-two years ago, we helped a utility increase power capacity and phase out older coal-fire systems with this 345kV switchyard that interconnects a natural gas-fired power plant. Natural gas projects are on the rise again as utilities across the U.S. look for ways to meet growing power demands while transitioning to cleaner energy sources.   What challenges are you facing on your gas-fired power projects? Tell us about them so we can give you peace of mind with tailored solutions backed by nearly 50 years of experience: https://lnkd.in/dygpTeJB   #HighVoltage #EPC #Substation #EnergyInfrastructure #EnergyTransition #Utilities #NaturalGas #GasFired
