The projects will help Illinois achieve its renewable energy targets by providing clean electricity to homes and businesses. They will collectively offset thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, supporting Illinois’ transition to a greener energy future and reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
The construction and development of the projects will create 400 direct and indirect jobs, and generate long-term tax revenues and land lease payments, benefiting local communities, landowners and municipal infrastructure.
Louth Callan Renewables is committed to advancing clean energy solutions through innovative design and strong industry partnerships.
Louth Callan Renewables managing member Nicholas Sylvestre stated: “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 company collaborates with local stakeholders and policymakers to ensure the successful deployment of these projects.
In a related development in Illinois, Sol Systems has begun constructing the 182MW Tilden solar energy project in Randolph County.
The $345m project, located on a 1,050-acre former mine site, will supply electricity to 33,800 homes annually and create 300 jobs during construction.
Financial backing was secured through partnerships with ING, Churchill Stateside Group, Qcells, Nextracker and McCarthy Building Companies.
