PEC Construction Management Chosen to Oversee Sunfish Solar 2 Facility in Michigan
Hecate Energy has appointed PEC Construction Management ("PEC") to provide on-site construction representation services for Sunfish Solar 2, the first project in Hecate's 1-gigawatt portfolio in Calhoun County, Michigan. Once completed, the state-of-the-art solar facility will provide enough green electricity to power approximately 69,000 Michigan homes.
Under a build transfer agreement with Consumers Energy, the project is a significant step in Consumers Energy's journey toward bringing 8,000 MW of solar online by 2040. Electricity from the project will be used to supply Consumers Energy's commercial and residential customers enrolled in its voluntary Renewable Energy Program and will be one of the largest in Michigan, playing a vital role in helping the state achieve its goal of sourcing 50% of its energy from renewables by 2030.
Construction for Sunfish Solar 2 has begun, and PEC is in the process of deploying its team to the site. The team will provide comprehensive on-site construction oversight, risk management, and mitigation services for Hecate Energy throughout the build.
"We're honored to have been selected by Hecate Energy to oversee the construction of this landmark project, which supports Michigan's renewable energy objectives. Our team, with expertise in HV/MV electrical, transmission, substation, civil, and mechanical disciplines, is committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, setting a precedent for future projects across the state," said Eddie Pease, Founder and Principal of PEC Construction Management.
"We're excited to collaborate with PEC, whose extensive experience in representing developers throughout the construction of large-scale, complex renewable energy projects like Sunfish Solar 2 ensures the project will remain safe, compliant, and aligned with the high standards set by Hecate Energy and its financial partners," said Fazli Qadir, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction.
