Case Studies

Bahrain World Trade Center — Bahrain

The Bahrain World Trade Center is the world’s first wind-powered skyscraper, integrating large-scale wind turbines into the architectural design of a commercial high-rise development. Wind turbines are mounted on bridges connecting the twin towers, capturing prevailing coastal winds to generate on-site renewable power.

Murphy International supported development efforts associated with this landmark hybrid energy project, which set a global precedent for integrating renewable energy into urban architectural design and demonstrated the viability of wind power in commercial real estate applications.

Biglow Canyon Wind Farm — Oregon, USA

Located on approximately 25,000 acres near Wasco in Sherman County, Oregon, the Biglow Canyon Wind Farm represents Portland General Electric’s largest renewable energy project. With a total installed capacity of 450 megawatts, the project significantly expanded utility-scale wind generation in the Pacific Northwest.

Murphy International contributed development and project expertise supporting large-scale wind deployment, reinforcing its experience in utility-grade renewable energy infrastructure.

Stillwater Geothermal — Nevada, USA

The award-winning Stillwater facility is the first power plant in the world to combine medium-enthalpy binary cycle geothermal generation with both solar photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies. This hybrid approach delivers continuous baseload renewable power while enhancing overall system efficiency.

Murphy International arranged financing, supported acquisition efforts, and established operations and maintenance management services for the facility. The project also included expansion planning, demonstrating Murphy International’s long-term commitment to asset performance and optimization.

CHENACT AP — Caribbean Basin

The Caribbean Hotel Energy Efficiency Action Programme (CHENACT AP) is a regional energy efficiency initiative originally financed by the Inter-American Development Bank and supported by international development agencies, utilities, and government entities.

Implemented by the Caribbean Tourism Organization with technical and operational support from industry partners, the program delivered energy efficiency solutions to hospitality facilities across the Caribbean. Murphy International supported project development and implementation efforts, contributing to improved energy performance and sustainability in island economies.

Idaho Power 100 MW Fast-Track Project — Idaho, USA

Murphy International acquired and supplied two gas turbine generators for Idaho Power’s Evander Andrews Power Complex, delivering the project into commercial operation two weeks ahead of schedule.

The fast-track execution required rapid equipment sourcing, coordination, and commissioning under tight timelines. Murphy International’s involvement demonstrated its ability to deliver critical power infrastructure efficiently while maintaining performance and budget discipline.

Solar, Wind & Diesel Hybrid Power — Eastern Caribbean

Murphy International worked with Sustainable Planning and Development, LLC to support the first utility-scale wind project completed and operational within member countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States.

The project integrated wind generation with solar and diesel systems, creating a hybrid energy solution designed to improve reliability, reduce fuel dependence, and enhance grid resilience in island environments.

Acquisition Services — Multiple Locations

Murphy International has provided acquisition advisory and transaction support services for a wide range of renewable energy assets, including geothermal, biomass, solar, and wind projects.

These services include technical evaluation, financial structuring, negotiation support, and transition planning, enabling clients to acquire, optimize, and operate energy assets with confidence.

Wind Turbine Manufacturing Services — Asia

Murphy International supported China’s Liaoning GaoKe Energy Group in advancing its strategic objective to become a leading clean energy solutions provider in Asia.

The engagement included wind turbine manufacturing support, supply chain development, and strategic planning, reinforcing Murphy International’s experience in international energy markets and technology deployment.

Pinnacle West 80 MW Gas Turbine Project — USA

Murphy International worked with project partners to locate and supply a General Electric 7EA gas turbine for a combined-cycle power generation project developed for Pinnacle West.

The project was executed on a fast-track basis, highlighting Murphy International’s expertise in equipment sourcing, logistics coordination, and schedule-driven power generation development.

Strata Building — London, United Kingdom

The Strata Building in London is the first building in the world to incorporate wind turbines directly into its structure. The integrated turbines generate sufficient energy to power the building’s common areas, showcasing innovative urban renewable energy design.

Murphy International supported development initiatives associated with this pioneering architectural energy project, reinforcing its role in hybrid and building-integrated renewable solutions.

VELCO P&W FT4 Gas Turbine — Vermont, USA

Murphy International assisted Vermont Electric Light Company by supplying an emergency Pratt & Whitney FT4 gas turbine generator to address grid stability issues at the Sand Bar Substation.

The turbine was operated in synchronous condenser mode, stabilizing the grid and preventing statewide brownouts. The project was delivered ahead of schedule and below budget under emergency conditions.

McEvoy Ranch Wind Project — California, USA

Murphy International’s Norwin America team provided a 225 kW wind turbine installation for McEvoy Ranch, a commercial olive farm and processing facility near Petaluma, California.

The project marked the first privately owned turbine of its size in Marin County and demonstrated the application of renewable energy in agricultural and commercial operations.
