Siemens Gamesa builds a new factory in New York

Siemens Gamesa CEO Marc Becker today announced plans to build a major offshore nacelle manufacturing facility in New York. The plant could create approximately 420 direct jobs, support a significant increase in indirect employment, and achieve an investment of approximately $500 million to contribute to the U.S. goals of producing a total of 30 GW of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030.

Siemens Gamesa plans to build a large offshore nacelle manufacturing facility in New York State, provided its wind turbines are selected by state officials in their third offshore wind tender. This announcement is an important step toward achieving the U.S. goal of 30 GW of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030.

 

An offshore wind turbine nacelle manufacturing plant in New York

Siemens Gamesa today announced plans to build a major offshore nacelle manufacturing facility in New York State, located at Coeymans Harbor. However, the construction of this plant is subject to the selection of Siemens Gamesa to supply wind turbines in New York State’s third offshore wind tender.

New York State plans to generate a minimum of 2 GW of offshore wind energy, up to 4.7 GW in this third round of procurement to reach a total of 9 GW of offshore wind energy. This announcement is part of the U.S. goal of reaching 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

 

420 direct jobs and a sustainable supply chain

The new offshore nacelle manufacturing facility could create approximately 420 direct jobs, support a significant increase in indirect employment and represent an investment of approximately $500 million in the region. Siemens Gamesa is also committed to locating several new component supplier facilities, including steel component manufacturing, bearings and composite components, demonstrating the development of a sustainable supply chain.

 

An integrated plan to locate the offshore wind energy supply chain

The proposed nacelle manufacturing facility and supplier network in New York would provide components for all of Siemens Gamesa’s offshore wind projects on the U.S. East Coast. This is part of Siemens Gamesa’s integrated plan to locate its offshore wind energy supply chain on the U.S. East Coast. This is also Siemens Gamesa’s second planned plant in the U.S., following the announcement of a wind turbine blade finishing plant in Portsmouth, Virginia, in October 2021.

The CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s offshore business, Marc Becker, said the announcement is an important step in their desire to lead the massive offshore wind market in the United States. He added that the economic, employment and environmental benefits of offshore wind energy are enhanced by strong policies and frameworks.
