Our Story
EVANSTON WIND
BUFFALO MOUNTAIN
Barnhart Energy Company’s roots trace back to the lifting legacy of Barnhart Crane & Rigging, founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1969. Over the decades, Barnhart’s innovation in heavy lift and wind installation helped support the early growth of the U.S. renewable energy industry.
As wind projects expanded and execution needs evolved, a dedicated construction capability began to take shape. In 2019, that capability formally split from the Knoxville branch and we become Barnhart Energy Company (BEC), a renewable-energy-focused construction services company built to deliver EPC and mechanical execution with the same reliability and problem-solving mindset that defined Barnhart’s lifting heritage.
Today, we continue to build on that foundation, expanding into solar, storage, and mission-critical infrastructure while staying grounded in the field-driven culture that shaped its beginnings.
