The York Energy Center, which was completed in 2011, replicates a model currently in use at the Hay Road and Bethlehem energy centers. The York plant  uses state-of-the-art, combined cycle, power generators capable of producing 565 megawatts of electricity. When Calpine acquired the facility in 2010 as part of its purchase of the Conectiv Energy assets, its construction was about 70 percent complete.

In spring of 2006, Harrisburg based electrical contractor Edwin L. Heim Co. was awarded the electrical contract for the prestigious Gettysburg Battlefield Visitor Center. For over 2 years IBEW electricians employed by Heim constructed the electrical systems for the massive project including two movie theaters, museum, bookstore, cafeteria, and the cyclorama viewing area where visitors can view the one of a kind 40 foot tall painting of Pickets charge. IBEW 229 is proud to have the visitor center in our large list of landmark projects.

 In April 2012, Harrisburg area electrical contractor Edwin L. Heim Company was awarded the electrical contract for the renovations and addition to the McKay Nursing Building at York College.  The project kicked off with Local 229 Electricians leading the way. The crew worked hard meeting the deadlines set by the General Contractor. The Mckay Nursing Center came in to be another successful project completed on time and under budget with the hard work of York's own IBEW electricians paired up with one of the area's premier electrical contractors.

In early 2007 construction began on the immense FGD project at Brunner’s Island. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is a technology used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the exhaust flue gasses of fossil fuel power plants.
Fossil fuel power plants burn coal or oil to produce steam for steam turbines, which in turn drive electricity generators.

Sulfur dioxide is one of the elements forming acid rain. Tall flue gas stacks disperse emissions by diluting the pollutants in ambient air and transporting them to other regions.
For a typical coal-fired power station, FGD will remove 95 percent or more of the SO2 in the flue gases.

In Mid 2009, IBEW signatory contractor Proelectric, LLC was awarded the contract to perform the electrical construction work on the renovation and expansion to the existing Dover Township Waste water treatment plant. The project involved expanding the existing "train" to make it more efficient and raise its capacity. A new "train" was constructed as well with the same output as the newly rebuilt unit.

Construction progressed through changes, weather conditions and deadlines. The work performed by IBEW 229 electricians employed by Proelectric was of the highest quality and will definitely be noticed for years to come.
