GE Renewable Energy to build new offshore wind blade manufacturing plant in Teesside, United Kingdom

Introduction:

GE Renewable Energy announced that it plans to open a new blade manufacturing facility in Teesside in the North East of England.

Features:

LM Wind Power plans to set up and operate this plant which will be dedicated to  production of its 107-meter- long offshore wind turbine blades, a key component of GE’s Haliade-X, the most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation today.

GE Renewable Energy estimates that this new plant, set to open and start production in 2023, could create up to 750 direct renewable energy jobs and up to 1,500 indirect jobs in the area to support the entire value chain needed to operate this facility.

This announcement and commitment support the UK government’s plan to develop jobs, infrastructure, and supply chains to reach its goal to commission 40 GW of offshore wind power by 2030 and become a global leader in green energy.

GE Renewable Energy’s new blade manufacturing plant will be located on Teesworks, an ideal location to serve the vast offshore wind potential of the North Sea.
