Work is underway by Mortenson to repower the 60-MW Oasis wind farm in Mojave, Calif., for renewable energy developer and operator Terra-Gen. After acquiring the plant in 2019, Terra-Gen brought in Mortenson as its construction partner to repower the facility, which first operated in 2004.
Mortenson will replace 60 1-MW turbines with 17 modern 3-MW turbines and will be responsible for access roads, foundations, underground collection, erection and updates to the existing substation. At peak construction, the project will employ an estimated 100 craftworkers.
