Invenergy has started construction of its Center of Excellence (CoE), a $30 million clean energy training and manufacturing facility. Located at 790 Remington Boulevard in Bolingbrook, Illinois, approximately 30 miles outside of Chicago, the new 135,000 sq. ft. facility is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2024. The construction project will employ over 250 local workers.

“The Center of Excellence is Invenergy’s latest investment in the workforce of the future and reinforces our leadership in meeting the growing demand for clean energy,” said Steve Dowdy, Executive Vice President and Operating Business Leader at Invenergy. “As we collectively meet today’s rapidly expanding energy needs, this state-of-the-art training and equipment refurbishment facility continues our commitment to the region, elevating Chicagoland, Illinois, and the US as the tip of the spear for energy infrastructure investment and innovation.”

“Invenergy’s investment in Bolingbrook represents an exciting new partnership,” added Village of Bolingbrook Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta. “We are proud to support these new clean energy manufacturing and workforce investments in our local community.”
“The Center of Excellence is a welcome investment, creating jobs and providing hands-on training to support a workforce of the future,” said Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. “This project will drive local innovation and progress, building upon Will County’s leadership in the clean energy economy.”
