Broadwind Energy to expand Texas tower facility
CICERO - Broadwind Energy's board of directors approved a $4 million expansion of the Company's Abilene, Texas tower facility.
The expansion plan will increase tower production capacity in this plant to approximately 200 towers annually, a 30 percent increase. The company expects the expansion project to be complete in mid-2017.
"The strong demand for wind energy in the Texas region supports this expansion of our Abilene facility," said Broadwind President and CEO Stephanie Kushner. "We are moving forward aggressively to bring this additional 30% capacity on line which should support incremental annual revenues of approximately $15-20 million, while adding some important operating flexibility."
