TSX, NYSE:STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and
engineering, has been selected by Pattern Energy Group LP (Pattern
Energy) to serve as Owner’s Engineer (OE) for the SunZia
Transmission Project. The project is part of the largest clean
energy infrastructure initiative in US history and, once complete,
will provide the capacity to deliver 3,000 megawatts (MW) of clean
renewable energy to communities in Arizona and California—enough to
supply a population of 3 million people.
The SunZia Transmission Project is enabling Pattern
Energy to develop up to 3,500 MW of wind power in New Mexico and
then transport that clean energy to communities in the southwest
US. The project includes the development of a 3,000-MW capacity,
525-kilovolt (kV) high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission
system with overhead lines traversing across approximately 550
miles of federal, state, and private lands between central New
Mexico and central Arizona. The project is another critical step
forward in the transition towards clean energy. It includes a
number of groundbreaking technological developments in HVDC
transmission, such as power and voltage ratings for voltage source
converters and overhead lines, as well as the application of
alternating current (AC) choppers.
“Stantec is proud to partner with Pattern Energy on
the SunZia Transmission Project, an initiative that will deliver
abundant renewable energy to communities throughout the southwest
region,” says Mario Finis, executive vice president of Energy &
Resources at Stantec. “The energy transition will require a
significant investment in our grid infrastructure, and the SunZia
project represents the type of planning and investment needed for
the US to fully integrate renewable energy onto the grid.”
Stantec will provide specialist HVDC Owner’s
Engineer services for the SunZia Transmission Project, which
includes electrical, civil, structural, building, and mechanical
engineering services associated with the HVDC converter stations
and AC choppers. The scope of the project includes performing
design reviews, interface management, witnessing factory acceptance
tests for major equipment, and commissioning assistance. Stantec
has also been retained to provide OE services associated with the
HVDC transmission line and review of protection design of wind
plants and collector network in New Mexico.
“SunZia is one of America’s most ambitious
renewable energy infrastructure projects and having Stantec provide
their industry leading HVDC experience as our Owner’s Engineer is
critical to our success. We are proud to have them as a partner on
SunZia,” says Derek Price, vice president of Engineering,
Procurement and Construction Group at Pattern Energy.
Stantec has more than 55 years of experience on
HVDC transmission projects around the globe. The power delivery
team has provided engineering services representing over 100,000 MW
of the world’s planned or installed capacity of HVDC. The team is
currently providing specialist services for more than a dozen major
HVDC projects globally, including the EuroAsia Interconnector, a
proposed HVDC multi-terminal link between Crete, Cyprus, and
Israel.
