US construction company Louth Callan Renewables has continued its geographical expansion into the Midwest with the recent awarding of 121MW of solar contracts across three projects in Illinois.
Nicholas Sylvestre, managing member of Louth Callan Renewables, said: “Expanding into the Midwest represents a significant milestone for Louth Callan Renewables as we continue to extend our national footprint.
“Illinois’ commitment to clean energy makes it an ideal market for our expertise in solar and renewable construction.
“These new projects underscore our mission to provide resilient, reliable, and cost-effective renewable energy solutions while fostering local economic growth.”
The construction and development of these solar projects will bring substantial economic benefits to the region, including the creation of more than 400 direct and indirect jobs during the planning, construction, and operational phases, the developer said.
Additionally, the projects will generate long-term tax revenues and land lease payments, providing financial support to local communities, landowners, and municipal infrastructure initiatives, it added.
