      Reed & Reed has successfully completed the construction of the Record Hill Wind Project in Roxbury, Maine.  This project can produce 50.6 mw of clean electricity and includes 22 Siemens (2.3 mw) wind turbines on 80 meter towers. Reed & Reed was the EPC contractor on this challenging and exciting project.  Our project scope included site work, construction of access roads, crane paths, turbine pads, foundation construction, turbine transport, turbine erection, electrical collector system, substation, operations & maintenance building, and a storage building.

      We worked closely with project owner Record Hill Wind LLC, turbine supplier Siemens, and Central Maine Power, the electrical utility.  We collaborated to develop remote SCADA and operating systems, project commissioning, and start-up operations. The project was located on a remote, scenic site in the mountainous region of western Maine with steep grades and within close proximity to Ellis Pond.  Environmental stewardship and safety were top priorities during the planning and construction of this project and all project goals were exceeded. 

      The turbines for this project were delivered by ship to Searsport, Maine.  From this point Reed & Reed was responsible for the transport of the components.  In preparation for the arrival of the turbines, we made modifications to certain portions of the transport route that used state and local roads.  Because of the size of the turbine components, extremely large transport vehicles approaching 200 ft. in length were required. Thanks to a lot of cooperation from the Maine Department of Transportation, State Police, and many local authorities, we were able to get the components to site with minimal impact to the traveling public. 

      This project is the most recent in a long string of successful wind power projects built by Reed & Reed on an EPC basis.  Congratulations to our entire team of managers, employees and subcontractors.

There has been much discussion and debate about the benefits of wind power in Maine. Having built nearly every commercial scale wind project in the State, Reed & Reed knows the benefits are substantial and widespread. But to confirm our thinking, we sent a film crew out to learn what Maine folks are really saying. Their comments are candid and refreshing and as you might suspect, they support wind power! We invite you to watch and enjoy the video then share it with your friends.
