Valero Energy has invested over $100 million in developing and constructing this green energy project. The Sunray facility is located on 5000 acres adjacent to Valero’s McKee Refinery.
The entire project is slated for completion this year. Phase II consists of roads, infrastructure, electrical collection systems and a substation for the remaining 27 wind turbines to complete the facility. Signal Wind is the Balance of Plant general contractor for this project and is responsible for the design and construction of all civil infrastructure, the electrical collection system, and the project substation. Signal Wind is also erecting the wind turbines and towers.
“The Sunray project is a great example of an energy company taking meaningful steps towards alternative energy generation,” said Ben Fischer, Signal Wind president. “Signal Wind is extremely pleased to have been awarded this contract and to be a part of this project alongside Valero Energy.”
