Broadwind Energy declared that its auxiliary company, Tower Tech Systems, has been chosen to provide wind towers for the Vestas managed Glacier Hills Wind Park project, located in Randolph and Scott towns in Columbia County, Wisconsin.
The wind project with its 90 wind turbines is anticipated to produce around 400 million kWh of clean energy every year to provide electricity to nearly 45,000 homes in the locality.
Jess Collins, Broadwind’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, felicitated the efforts of Vestas in bringing the wind project to the region and said that his company as a producer of wind towers for multi-megawatt projects in the USA provides its clients quality components and offers continuous support. He added that his company has around $245 million worth orders on hand and witnessed nearly 17% increase in its orders from 30th September 2010, and has added a number of jobs in its tower production plants.
Bjarne Hansen, who leads Vestas Towers as president, said that Broadwind continues to be a regular supplier to Vestas and his company has chosen Tower Tech systems knowing the improved production facilities available with the company. He explained that his company is planning to erect one of the biggest wind energy projects in the region that was announced earlier.
