Our development and construction achievements include construction of Magnolia Power, LLC, a 700 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) project in Louisiana and Mountain Peak Power (164 MW) and Canyon Peak Power (156 MW) peaking projects in Colorado. We are actively working to expand our footprint through several distinct natural gas projects under development including Wolf Summit Energy (West Virginia) – a 610 MW CCGT.
Each of these projects reinforce Kindle’s growth and our commitment to delivering reliable, efficient, and flexible power solutions to meet evolving grid demands.

The Vice President of Business Development will direct a multi-functional team to coordinate development and commercialization of greenfield and brownfield project developments to help Kindle meet growing demand for cleaner, more reliable sources of power for clients across the United States.
