What IEA Constructors does

IEA Constructors is a U.S.-based engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor specializing in utility-scale energy and heavy civil infrastructure projects. Founded in 1977 as RMT, Inc. (originally an environmental and waste management consulting firm), the company formalized construction services in 1994, was acquired by Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. in 2013, rebranded as IEA Renewable Energy in 2014 and then IEA Constructors in 2018, and was acquired by MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) in 2022 where it operates within the Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment. The company delivers end-to-end services from siting and permitting through engineering, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover.

The company's core offerings span eight service areas: wind power construction, solar power construction, power delivery (transmission lines and substations), repowering of aging wind farms, thermal power, petrochemical and industrial facilities, biomass facilities, and heavy civil infrastructure (highways, bridges, utilities). Notable projects include the 228 MW Bruennings Breeze Wind Farm in Texas (76 Acciona/Nordex turbines), the 300 MW Green Pastures Wind Farm in Texas (first large-scale North American deployment of the Acciona AW 116/3000 turbine), the 112-turbine Colbeck's Corner project with GE, the Kawailoa Wind project on Oahu, Hawaii, the Appling Solar Farm (25 MWAC) for Silicon Ranch, and the 100-mile 230 kV Peetz Interconnect transmission line for FPL Energy. The firm reports over 9,000 MW of energy infrastructure built across 25 states, with annual construction capacity scaled from 500 MW to over 1,100 MW following a 2017 organizational realignment.

IEA Constructors operates a project-based revenue model under direct enterprise sales contracts with energy developers, utilities, and industrial clients, with revenue recognized on a per-contract, one-time basis. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, including a core traveling workforce of more than 500 skilled craftsmen and professionals who mobilize nationally. GTM motion is direct enterprise field sales targeting utility-scale project owners. Key competitive differentiators include a 40+ year track record, industry-leading safety metrics (EMR 0.51, TRIR 0.17), ability to execute in challenging environments, and the capital and geographic reach afforded by the MasTec parent organization. As a privately held subsidiary, IEA Constructors does not publicly disclose standalone revenue or financials.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• RES (Renewable Energy Systems): RES is a global wind, solar, and energy storage developer/EPC with growing U.S. utility-scale presence; competes with IEA on wind balance-of-plant and increasingly on solar EPC for the same IPP customer base.
• Burns & McDonnell: Burns & McDonnell's Energy group performs EPC and engineer-procure work on transmission, substations, and increasingly renewables, serving many of the same utility customers IEA serves in power delivery and EPC scopes.

Direct peers

• Mortenson Construction: Mortenson's Energy and Infrastructure group is one of the largest U.S. utility-scale wind and solar EPC contractors, with multi-thousand MW of installed capacity and a similar EPC-only model serving the same developer and utility clients (e.g., has built projects in the same 200-300 MW wind class as IEA).
• Wanzek Construction: Wanzek (a MasTec subsidiary operating alongside IEA in the Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment) builds utility-scale wind farms and solar PV plants with a near-identical EPC service model and overlapping customer base in wind/solar construction.
• Blattner Energy (now QCI): Now operating as QCI under Quanta Services, Blattner built over 30,000 MW of wind capacity and is IEA's most direct U.S. competitor in utility-scale wind EPC, addressing the same IPP and utility customers with similar balance-of-plant and self-perform construction services.
• McCarthy Building Companies (Energy): McCarthy's Renewable Energy & Storage group is a major utility-scale solar and energy storage EPC contractor, sharing IEA's project-based model, customer profile (utility-scale developers), and silicon-to-substation scope of services on multi-hundred-MW solar projects.
• Powin Energy / Primoris Renewable Energy: Primoris Renewable Energy is a direct EPC competitor for utility-scale wind/solar and transmission, working with the same developer/IPP customer base on similar balance-of-plant scopes in overlapping U.S. geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Quanta Services: Quanta is the largest pure-play electric and renewable infrastructure services company in North America; through Blattner and its T&D subsidiaries it competes directly with IEA on utility-scale wind EPC and on the transmission construction work IEA performs via Peetz-style projects.
• Kiewit Energy Group: Kiewit's energy and renewables arm executes multi-hundred-MW wind and solar EPC projects in the U.S. and is a frequent head-to-head bidder against IEA for utility-scale renewable and power delivery work.
• Fluor Corporation (Energy Solutions): Fluor's Energy Solutions group executes large-scale EPC for power and renewables; while broader in scope, it competes with IEA for utility-scale wind/solar and thermal EPC contracts and serves overlapping utility and developer clients.
