Sunshine Valley Substation

Nye County, NV

The Sunshine Valley Substation and Gen-Tie project is located in Nye County, Nevada. ECI completed all engineering design while ECI’s subsidiary, EPC Services Company (EPCS), provided all construction and testing ensuring all services for the project were completed in-house.

All engineering support during construction, project management, construction management, meetings, coordination and testing and commissioning were led by ECI/EPCS. The EPC project manager was located within an hour of First Solar Headquarters, making our ability to respond to project needs efficiently, a considerable benefit to this project.

The project consists of two feeder bays, 35/138 kV 106mVA transformer, and a 138 kV line breaker. There is approximately 0.55 mile of 138 kV transmission line with 600 feet of 138 kV underground cable.

EPC Services had representatives at the project site through all phases of construction to manage self-performed and contract work, materials receiving, safety management and other required duties. Our Field Construction Manager was responsible for daily meetings with subcontractors, as well as with First Solar personnel weekly.

EPC Services provided all electrical testing and commissioning with in-house resources for the Sunshine Valley Solar Project Substation in accordance with industry standard procedures.
