Arevon Energy, Inc., a renewable energy company, has chosen Bechtel, a US-based engineering, procurement, construction, and project management company, to design and build a new 190 MWac solar project in Posey County, Indiana.

During construction, Bechtel is to employ over 300 people from the local area including electricians, operators, safety professionals, solar installers, and general laborers, and implement on-the-job training programmes for local community residents. Bechtel will also involve the regional supply chain in Indiana and the surrounding states during the implementation of the project.
