Indiana American Water, Newburgh Facility
Morton Electric completed the electrical wiring for Indiana American Water’s new plant maintenance building at the Newburgh, Indiana, water treatment facility. This work helped create a reliable, functional space for the trucks, tools, and maintenance equipment that support the facility’s daily operations.
The new building strengthens Indiana American Water’s ability to maintain critical infrastructure, respond to service needs, and keep essential equipment ready for use. By supporting reliable day-to-day water utility operations, Morton Electric’s electrical work plays an important role in helping crews work safely and efficiently behind the scenes.
Most importantly, the project strengthens the facility operations that keep clean drinking water flowing to residents, businesses, and communities throughout Warrick County.
AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals Solar Infrastructure
Morton Electric delivered the complete design/build electrical infrastructure for AstraZeneca’s 2.2MW solar array at the Mount Vernon, Indiana supply site. The system was interconnected at the plant’s 12.47KV substation and integrated with a 4MVA transformer, switchgear, panelboard, and a premium Square D I-Line distribution panel designed to connect the solar inverters into the facility’s electrical infrastructure.
This project helped AstraZeneca bring on-site renewable energy into daily plant operations while supporting a safer, more resilient, and expandable power system. The electrical design tied the solar array into the existing plant infrastructure, allowing the site to offset imported utility power and advance its broader sustainability goals without disrupting critical manufacturing operations.
Morton Electric’s work also positioned the facility for future clean-energy expansion. The distribution infrastructure was built with capacity for future battery storage, giving the site a practical pathway to add approximately 1MW of energy storage as needs evolve. That future-ready approach supports long-term energy flexibility, improved operational planning, and continued carbon-reduction initiatives at the Mount Vernon campus.
The completed solar field supports AstraZeneca’s global Ambition Zero Carbon program, which emphasizes renewable energy, reduced operational emissions, and more sustainable manufacturing. According to AstraZeneca’s public sustainability materials, the company has pursued renewable energy as part of its effort to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonize its operations. The Mount Vernon project reflects that strategy at the facility level by connecting clean power generation directly into plant infrastructure.
CenterPoint Energy
Morton Electric completed the design/build electrical infrastructure and equipment pad installation for CenterPoint Energy’s solar array in Evansville, Indiana. The project included a 2.7MW solar array, a 12.47KV-to-480V transformer, and the electrical distribution system needed to safely connect renewable generation into the local utility infrastructure.
The system was interconnected at 12.47KV through Viper disconnects and built to meet grid protection requirements, supporting safe operation, utility coordination, and reliable delivery of solar-generated power. Morton Electric also installed the control and data collection building, including power distribution, fiber optics, and network switchgear that allow the system to communicate with production monitoring software.
By combining medium-voltage interconnection, distribution equipment, monitoring infrastructure, and communications systems, Morton Electric helped create a solar installation that is not only connected to the grid, but also measurable, maintainable, and ready for utility-scale operations.
Vuteq Indiana
Morton Electric delivered the design/build electrical interconnection and power distribution infrastructure for an approximately 1.5MW grid-tied solar energy system at Vuteq Indiana’s manufacturing facility in Princeton, Indiana. The project connected the solar system to the CenterPoint Energy power grid and integrated complete Eaton electrical switchgear with a pad-mounted 2MVA transformer to support safe, reliable solar generation for a high-demand industrial operation.
The system was designed to help offset a meaningful portion of the facility’s daytime electrical load, with the capability to provide up to 50% of peak building demand during daylight hours. That renewable power supports the production of automotive components, including instrument panels, dashboards, headliners, consoles, and other assemblies used by Toyota and other automotive manufacturers.
For a just-in-time automotive supplier, dependable electrical infrastructure is critical. Morton Electric’s work helped Vuteq add clean on-site power while maintaining the reliability needed for daily manufacturing, production scheduling, and grid-connected operation. The completed interconnection gives the facility a stronger energy foundation, reduces reliance on imported utility power during solar-producing hours, and supports long-term sustainability goals in automotive manufacturing.
AZZIP Pizza Home Office
Morton Electric completed the rooftop solar installation for Azzip Pizza’s home office in Evansville, Indiana. The project included a grid-tied 17.6 kW solar energy system installed on the roof of the company’s Franklin Street office, helping the locally founded restaurant brand offset energy use at the business hub that supports its growing network of locations.
The system was designed with an attractive, symmetrical rooftop layout to complement the property while producing clean, on-site power for Azzip’s office operations. Morton Electric installed U.S.-made Q-Cells black-on-black solar panels, IronRidge mounting rails, a three-phase inverter, system monitoring, utility interconnection support, conduit, connections, and distribution equipment to connect the system safely into the building’s electrical infrastructure.
The completed installation gives Azzip Pizza a visible clean-energy upgrade at its Evansville home office, where corporate, operations, marketing, accounting, and support teams help run the company’s restaurants across Indiana and Kentucky. By adding rooftop solar, Azzip can reduce reliance on utility power during solar-producing hours, support more sustainable day-to-day office operations, and demonstrate a practical investment in clean energy from its hometown headquarters.
Sandys Pizza
Morton Electric provided the design/build electrical infrastructure and utility interconnection for a 92.8 kW solar energy system at Sandy’s Pizza in Fort Branch, Indiana. The project was designed to support the restaurant’s daily operations with reliable on-site power generation while integrating seamlessly with the local utility grid.
The installation included complete electrical design, utility interconnection coordination, power distribution equipment, switchgear integration, inverters, monitoring systems, conduit, wiring, and service disconnects. Morton Electric engineered the system to distribute solar-generated electricity directly to the facility’s three-phase electrical service, helping support the energy demands of a busy food-service operation.
For restaurants and food production facilities, dependable electrical infrastructure is essential to maintaining kitchen operations, refrigeration systems, food preparation equipment, HVAC systems, and customer comfort. Morton Electric’s work helped create a renewable energy solution that supports these critical functions while providing long-term operational value and energy resilience.
The system also includes production monitoring and data collection capabilities, allowing facility managers to track system performance and energy production in real time. This visibility helps ensure the system continues to perform efficiently while supporting the restaurant’s sustainability goals.
Designed as a turnkey installation, the project demonstrates how renewable energy can be successfully integrated into food-service operations without disrupting daily business activities. By combining modern electrical infrastructure with on-site power generation, Morton Electric helped position Sandy’s Pizza for long-term operational efficiency and energy independence.
