Solar power is one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity available today, and its ability to generate power at peak times helps reduce electricity costs for all consumers.
Bechtel is developing the Sandpiper Solar 
Project in Illinois, a state on track to be one of the most active markets for renewable development.
Sandpiper Solar will contribute 128 megawatts of energy, enough to power up to 20,000 homes per year. The project offers a new source of economic development with long-term local and state tax revenue for schools, 
government services, and public infrastructure. The power from Sandpiper Solar will be delivered to the local Illinois electrical grid, helping to diversify Illinois’ energy portfolio. In addition to creating direct and indirect jobs during construction and operations, Sandpiper Solar will create opportunities for companies seeking to open new locations in areas with access to renewable power to expand into Rock Island County.
If you have any questions about the planned Sandpiper Solar facility, please contact Development Manager, Adriana Castillo.
