White Construction, a subsidiary of Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives (IEA), has secured a $65m contract to build a 150MW wind farm in northern Iowa, US.

IEA manages utility-scale renewable energy and heavy civil infrastructure projects.

Upon completion in November 2020, the wind farm will generate 600,000MWh of electricity annually which is enough to power approximately 70,000 homes.

Under the terms of the contract, White Construction will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the project.

The scope of the work also includes the construction of access roads, the assembly of wind generators, installation of turbine foundation as well as the construction of project substations and a medium-voltage collection system.

Iowa Environmental Council said that the US state of Iowa, which ranks second in the US for installing wind capacity, is claimed to be a national leader in wind energy. It was also claimed to be the first state to produce over 30% of its electricity from wind.
