In the May issue of Wind Power Monthly there’s a short article announcing the plans of Global Energy Systems to open a wind turbine tower component factory in Stevens Point Wisconsin in the fall of 2004. It would be the first fully automated factory in the U.S. for wind components. GES projects that with or without the extension of the Production Tax Credit by Congress, the wind market will continue to grow and along with it the demand for towers.
There are no recent updates on the web, so I don’t know if the plant will open this fall or not. Perhaps the skyrocketing costs of steel have created delays.
