Steel Structures in Renewable Energy Infrastructure

This article, originally published in 2024, discusses the steel structures used in electrical-substation infrastructure associated with renewable-energy development.

SteelCon, Inc was founded in 2000 as a family-owned and operated business. At the time of publication, its offerings included galvanized steel structures, PCO Poles, and tubular steel static masts for electrical-substation applications. The company had grown from 5 to 50 employees and operated facilities in Brighton, Colorado, and Texas. Its fabrication process included the use of 3D modeling software and production equipment. The original article also directed readers to SteelCon's past projects, client testimonials, and industry updates. Steel structures remain part of the electrical-substation infrastructure that connects renewable generation to the power grid.
