Nordic Windpower, Ltd. , a leading manufacturer of two-bladed utility-scale wind turbines, has selected Pocatello, Idaho, as the site for its new turbine manufacturing facility.
Nordic said it has several options for expansion, up to four times the size of its leased 42,786 square-foot facility, as it scales production to meet demand of large and small developers and community wind projects.
Volume production is expected to commence in Q3 for turbine delivery in November 2008, with anticipated production of at least 20 turbines monthly by September 2009.
"We are extremely pleased to locate Nordic Windpower’s North American manufacturing facility in Idaho, following a comprehensive review of many good sites across the United States," said Steve Taber, Nordic Windpower CEO and co-founder. "Pocatello has a favorable cost of operations, and an excellent workforce and location central to potential customers and transportation."
