St. Joseph Solar Farm
White Construction completed the construction of a 20 MWAC solar facility in St. Joseph County, Indiana. The St. Joseph Solar Farm is Indiana Michigan Power’s (I&M) largest solar generating facility, and was constructed in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame. White Construction self-performed the entire project including design, procurement, construction and commissioning of the facility. In addition, White constructed all of the access roads, fencing, foundations, electrical collection and trackers. Built on 210 acres of land, this new facility includes approximately 57,720 First Solar panels, which provide enough energy to power 2,700 homes annually. Learn more.

Whispering Willow North
The Whispering Willow North wind project is located in Franklin County, Iowa. This wind farm is an expansion of the existing Whispering Willow East wind farm. The project produces 200 megawatts generated by 81 General Electric 2.3 MW and 2.5 MW turbines. The Whispering Willow North wind farm project provided jobs to more than 150 local union members. Area businesses also saw a substantial increase in revenue from our workforce. The energy generated from Whispering Willow North is enough to power around 93,000 homes annually.

Radford's Run
The Twin Forks Wind project spans 24,000 acres in Macon County, Illinois, just north of Warrensburg and Maroa. The project consists of 139 Vestas V110 2.2-megawatt turbines and to date is the largest wind energy facility in the state of Illinois. In addition to the civil construction and turbine erection, the project also required more than 56 miles of public road improvements. White Construction successfully completed the project on time, achieving mechanical completion in just three months.

Grand Ridge Solar
The Grand Ridge Solar project is located approximately 80 miles southwest of Chicago, near the town of Streator, Illinois. In 2012, solar was fairly new to the Midwestern United States, and the Grand Ridge project was the first solar union contractor assignment. To ensure safety and quality installation, White Construction held extensive training for the union labor on site. This 20 MW project consists of 20 individual one MW solar inverters and over 155,000 photovoltaic modules supplied by General Electric.

Energy Park Expansion
This energy park is located in eastern Michigan, near the town of Unionville. As part of the 76-megawatt expansion project, 33 General Electric 2.3 megawatt turbines were added to the existing wind farm, bringing the total energy park capacity to 231 MW. During peak construction, the project employed over 250 construction workers logging more than 110,000 man-hours to build the project. The completed project now produces enough electricity to power 90,000 homes annually.
