Siemens Gamesa has announced its intention to build an 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. It would create up to approximately 420 direct jobs, support a significant rise in indirect jobs, and represent an investment of around US$ 500 million in the region. Siemens Gamesa is also committing to localising several new component supplier facilities, including steel component fabrication, bearings, and composite components. The proposed facility and supplier network in New York would supply components for all Siemens Gamesa offshore wind power projects along the U.S. East Coast.
