Wind Manufacturing and Supply Chain | Department of Energy
There are more than 500 U.S. manufacturing facilities specializing in wind components such as blades, towers, and generators, as well as turbine assembly across the country.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) works with wind energy technology suppliers to promote advanced manufacturing capabilities. The goals are to increase reliability while lowering production costs and promote an industry that can meet all demands domestically while competing in the global market.
The Wind Energy Technologies Office supports industry partnerships and targeted R&D funding that integrate new designs, materials, and processes into manufacturing facilities, thus making wind turbines a more affordable domestic energy source for communities around the country. Wind-related manufacturing facilities and installed capacity by state.
As the size and complexity of wind turbines grow, so do the manufacturing process requirements and component transportation costs which, in turn, increase the need for local manufacturers who can overcome technical and logistical challenges.
