Castillo Engineering building 15-MW solar project for renewable diesel plant

• Castillo Engineering partnered with BioStar Renewables, to give electrical layout and also engineering for a 15-MW solar project in Kansas. This behind-the-meter project utilizes a single-axis tracker and also will power a recently-built renewable diesel plant with on-site clean energy.

BioStar Renewables has actually engaged Castillo Engineering on three various other solar projects throughout the nation, making this their fourth project with each other. Currently under construction, the project is anticipated to be complete in Q2 of 2023.

" We selected Castillo Engineering for this project due to the fact that they have actually proven themselves to be an extraordinary partner on the range of projects they have supported us with in a number of different states," claimed David Smart, CCO of BioStar Renewables. "They are extremely detail oriented during each action of the style procedure, and we are delighted to be able to work with them to offer more sustainable power for this cutting edge renewable diesel plant."

Domestic renewable diesel capacity, which can be originated from fats as well as oils, is expected to increase by 2025, as this brand-new plant contributes to this expanding fad. It was very important to the proprietors to power most of their electrical energy needs with solar power as well as change the center's previous 22-MW heavy steam generator.

To accomplish this, Castillo Engineering developed adjoining right into a substation in addition to site preparation within a railroad loop, which required the company to reduce rail crossings by optimizing conductor routes.

" We are honored to have been chosen by BioStar Renewables for this extraordinary project, which is adding to a much more sustainable future in even more means than one," claimed Christopher Castillo, Chief Executive Officer of Castillo Engineering. "Although we have projects throughout the entire nation, we are specifically anticipating giving our layout, engineering as well as website optimization know-how for added impactful projects in the Midwest area this year as well as in the years to find."
