Descriptiontext

Blattner Company (also operating as Blattner Energy and DH Blattner) is a tier 1 utility-scale engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor headquartered in Avon, Minnesota. Founded in 1907, the firm has been involved in the U.S. construction industry for over a century and has cumulatively built more than 20% of U.S. utility-scale wind, solar, and battery energy storage capacity. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quanta Services (NYSE: PWR), a Fortune 250 infrastructure services company, and employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people.

The company's core offerings are organized around four EPC service lines: utility-scale Solar EPC, utility-scale Wind EPC, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) EPC, and high-voltage Transmission Line Construction (including HVDC and 345 kV scopes). These are supported by an integrated Safety & Quality service line and a proprietary project-delivery methodology marketed as the 'Better Construction Experience'. Technology is conventional heavy-construction EPC execution — engineering, procurement, and self-performed construction of physical renewable infrastructure — rather than a software or platform technology. Reference projects include 1,547 MW Kern County Wind, 845 MW Arlington Wind, 600 MW Limon Wind, 532 MW Converse County Wind, 520 MW Andrews County Solar, 173 MW Albany Solar, the 500 kW / 500 kWh New Orleans BESS, and the CREZ 345 kV Texas transmission project.

Blattner generates revenue through project-based EPC contracts awarded by electric utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), and energy developers in the United States. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom to each project's scope, capacity, and complexity, with contract durations spanning multiple years and revenue recognized as construction progresses. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with a small number of large utility and IPP counterparties through competitive bidding and relationship-driven contract awards. Geographic scope is U.S.-domestic only, with all identified projects located within the contiguous United States.
