Broadwind Energy Wins $37 Million in Tower Orders
Broadwind Energy, Inc. (BWEN) announced today that it has been awarded tower orders totaling approximately $37 million from two U.S. wind turbine manufacturers, for manufacture beginning in late 2012 and extending well into 2013. The towers will be produced in the Company’s Manitowoc, WI facility.
Peter C. Duprey, president and CEO of Broadwind Energy, Inc., stated, “The market for wind towers in the U.S. is coming into balance. Due to the pending expiration of the Production Tax Credit and the wind tower trade case, a number of competitors, both foreign and domestic, have exited the market or repurposed some of their production assets.
