Power

Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), data center expansion, domestic manufacturing growth, and sector-wide electrification are ushering in a new era of rising electricity demand in the United States. At Quanta, we are meeting this challenge by supporting our customers in accelerating the construction of vital infrastructure to ensure the nation’s energy needs are met with a reliable, affordable, and sustainable power system.

Sherco Solar: Meeting Rising Power Demand

The coal-powered Sherco plant in Minnesota is undergoing a significant transformation. Previously responsible for generating over 10 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the site is now being repurposed to play a pivotal role in connecting the largest solar project in the Upper Midwest—and one of the largest in the nation—to the electrical grid. In partnership with Xcel Energy, Quanta is constructing the new Sherco Solar facility, ensuring that while thousands of acres around the plant are covered in solar panels, the plant’s most valuable asset—the grid connection—remains essential to the project’s success.
