NY state was selected for their major offshore nacelle manufacturing
02/2023: Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Ltd., headquartered in Madrid / Spain announced in February 2023 its intention to build a major offshore nacelle manufacturing facility in New York state, subject to the company’s wind turbines being selected by the New York authorities in their third offshore wind solicitation.
The planned facility will be located at the Port of Coeymans, NY. It would create up to approximately 420 direct jobs, support a significant rise in indirect jobs and represent an investment of around $500 million in the region.
Siemens Gamesa is also committing to localizing several new component supplier facilities including steel component fabrication, bearings, and composite components, demonstrating the further development of a sustainable local supply chain ecosystem. This could help double the number of jobs created by the facility.
New York expects to procure a minimum of 2 GW of offshore wind energy, and up to 4.7 GW in this third round of procurement to achieve a total of 9 GW of offshore wind energy. This is a significant part of the United States’ target to realize 30 GW of offshore wind power by 2030.
