Over the next few years, Nordex will be
spending around US$ 100 million to establish its own US production facilities
for wind turbines and rotor blades.
As early as 2009, the first locally
produced 2.5MW wind turbines will be entering the US market. The investment
program entails a sum of USD 100 million to be spent on establishing annual
production capacity of 750MW by 2012. This will initially entail the
assembly of wind turbines. As of 2010, Nordex wants to invest two thirds of
this sum in rotor blade production. Roughly 600 jobs will be created at the
production site, the final location of which is to be selected in the near
future.
