The Largest Wind Project in the Americas Required a New Way to Build

Building Pattern Energy’s SunZia meant coordinating 916 wind turbines and 550 miles of transmission line across three counties of New Mexico high desert—with 2,000 workers at peak construction spread over thousands of square miles. Clipboards and weekly meetings were never going to manage work at that scale. Instead, every discipline—safety, environmental, civil, electrical—added their knowledge to one shared map. Aegean Energy Group’s Maps to Megawatts™ solution gave day and night crews real-time coordination on crane schedules, deliveries, and construction phases, turning routine drone capture and field inspections into a single source of truth that kept the Western Hemisphere’s largest wind project on track.

Anatomy of a Map: Aegean Featured in Esri StoryScape Magazine

Aegean Energy Group’s StoryMaps Competition 2025 finalist project is featured in the May 2026 edition of Esri’s StoryScape Magazine, exploring how map visuals are refined into effective narrative tools. The piece looks at how Aegean translates complex renewable energy development data—site conditions, project boundaries, infrastructure layers—into clear, decision-ready maps that move stakeholders from information to action.

From Snapshots to Solutions: Construction Photos Become Collaboration Tools

Aegean Energy Group turned routine construction photo capture into a surprisingly powerful collaboration engine. Using ArcGIS Survey123 (and drone imagery alongside it), their “Pic of the Week” workflow takes thousands of weekly field photos and routes them into a simple, structured review habit—so safety, civil, environmental, and project teams are all looking at the same on-the-ground reality. The payoff is faster issue spotting, better documentation for compliance, and a shared “we’re solving this together” culture across massive, fast-moving job sites.
