Horizon Wind Energy has selected Indianapolis-based Bowen Engineering as the balance of plant (BOP) contractor for the Meadow Lake wind farm in White County, Ind. This 200 MW facility is the first of several wind farms Horizon is developing in Indiana.
‘Renewable energy, particularly wind energy, is in a growth phase,’ says Dennis Ward, operations manager at Bowen. ‘We are excited to see these technologies come to Indiana, and we are proud to contribute to sustainable power generation.’
Bowen will begin work immediately, providing overall site coordination and logistics, as well as constructing the turbine foundations and road improvements. A total of 121 wind turbine generators will be erected in farm fields and connected to a new electrical substation for integration into the transmission grid. The project is expected to be completed by October.
