PEC Construction Management Chosen for Solar Oversight
PEC Construction Management to Provide Owner's Representative Services for Sunfish Solar 2 Project
PEC Construction Management has been appointed to oversee the Sunfish Solar 2 project, a key initiative in renewable energy development. This project marks Hecate Energy's first entry into its ambitious 1-gigawatt renewable energy portfolio. Upon completion, the facility will harness solar power to provide enough sustainable electricity to supply about 69,000 homes.
In collaboration with Consumers Energy, the project represents a crucial milestone in a larger plan to generate 8,000 MW of solar energy by 2040. The electricity generated will benefit both commercial and residential consumers participating in the voluntary Renewable Energy Program, making it one of the state’s largest solar installations and a vital contributor to Michigan's goal of achieving 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.
As construction of Sunfish Solar 2 begins, PEC is mobilizing its team to the site to ensure comprehensive oversight. Their expertise will include risk management and mitigation services to ensure the project aligns with Hecate Energy's standards throughout the build.
"We are privileged to be selected by Hecate Energy to oversee this significant project in the ongoing pursuit of renewable energy in Michigan. Our team’s diverse expertise in various construction disciplines supports our commitment to the highest compliance standards, creating a benchmark for future projects in the state," stated Eddie Pease, Founder and Principal of PEC Construction Management.
"Working alongside PEC is an exciting opportunity; their extensive background in managing large-scale renewable energy projects assures us that Sunfish Solar 2 will meet the highest standards for safety and compliance," commented Fazli Qadir, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction.
