From Area Development Magazine:

“We at Siemens Gamesa have shown the offshore wind industry the way for over 30 years. Establishing the industry’s first dedicated offshore wind turbine blade facility in the United States proves again that we are leading the offshore revolution. […] The U.S. offshore market is a critical part of our overall global strategy, with our presence in Virginia playing a crucial and central role. Our investment, reaching triple-digit millions of U.S. dollars, would be energized by the strong collaboration with Dominion Energy and support of Virginia’s legislature and authorities.†[…]

“Virginia is leading the way in offshore wind and using blades. This new facility in Hampton Roads on our Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is a major win for the region. It is great to see well-paying, clean energy jobs are on the horizon as an offshore wind supply chain develops here in Virginia.â€AREA DEVELOPMENT MAGAZINE
