The new line will connect the Gray County Wind Farm to an existing 115kV transmission line, expanding NextEra’s ability to deliver renewable energy to its service territory.
TRC also will coordinate all surveying activities, geotechnical studies, and foundation design associated with the project.
Prior to this stage of the project, TRC assisted NextEra with a route selection study to identify viable routes for the transmission line and to evaluate all options. TRC said that the relationship that it developed with NextEra during this phase contributed to the new contract award.
Chris Vincze, chairman and CEO of TRC, said: “TRC is proud to support NextEra, our strong, long-term partner-customer, with their wind energy transmission project. Our participation in this project demonstrates our presence as a full service provider in the renewable energy arena.
“As an organization, we are passionate about addressing our nation’s energy challenges, and we are dedicated to delivering results that enable our clients to achieve success.”
