Indiana-based Ambassador Steel Corp. is supplying about 900 tons of enhanced rebar for the CapX2020 utilities projects, a series of high voltage transmission lines that will provide reliable and affordable electric service to Minnesota and the surrounding region, while also expanding access to renewable energy.
"The CapX2020 project is a valuable one for Ambassador to be a part of," commented Ambassador Steel's district manager Dan Yerks. "It's a large construction project, and providing steel for the construction helps our company and employees. It helps the suppliers we purchase steel from, and it helps our community at a time when job growth is desperately needed."
"Ensuring electric reliability and providing capacity for new power generation outlets, particularly in southern and western Minnesota and the Dakotas, is a lasting benefit to the Upper Midwest," added Terry Grove, Great River Energy, co-executive director of CapX2020.
