Company meets growing market demand for comprehensive
utility-scale solar design & engineering services
MAITLAND, Fla., June 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Castillo Engineering
announced that it has been selected as the Engineer of Record (EOR)
for three portfolios of community solar projects in Illinois, totaling 56 MW across 14 projects,
during the first quarter of this year. The portfolios consist of
three projects for a total of 23 MW with Recon Corporation; seven
projects for a total of 21 MW, and four projects for a total of 12
MW. All of these fixed-tilt, bifacial solar module projects will
leverage Castillo's in-house civil, electrical, structural, and
power system studies services alongside its Project Management
Office (PMO). The projects are expected to be completed by Q1 of
2025.
"We continue to select Castillo due to their extensive
experience in the region completing projects cost effectively and
efficiently," said Scott Walker,
President at Recon Corporation. "The fact that Castillo has all
engineering disciplines - civil, electrical and structural,
in-house has helped to streamline and reduce costs on all of the
projects we have completed in Illinois together."
Over the past four years, Illinois has tripled the amount of
installed community solar capacity in the state. In response to the
high demand for utility-scale solar design and engineering services
in the region, Castillo has been able to significantly increase its
capacity to handle additional projects over the past several years,
including through the addition of its PMO. The firm has also
successfully integrated its civil engineering services in order to
provide a one-stop shop for its clients. Castillo attributes its
consistent growth, in part, to adding its civil engineering
division, which has been used in 650 percent more projects since
initially added to the firm's offerings a year ago.
"We're grateful that the market has been receptive to our
service offerings, which span all relevant disciplines for
large-scale solar projects, and continues to recognize our over
three decades of design and engineering expertise," said
Christopher Castillo, CEO at
Castillo Engineering. "We look forward to finding further
efficiencies with these three project portfolios and deepening our
experience throughout the Midwest."
