The Port of Coeymans facility will supply components for all Siemens Gamesa’s offshore wind power projects across the US East Coast.

The company said the project will create up to 420 direct jobs.

In its upcoming tender, New York is expected to procure a maximum of 4.7GW of offshore wind capacity as part of its plan to develop a total of 9GW.

This will contribute significantly to the US’ goal of generating 30GW of offshore wind energy by the end of the decade.

In October 2021, Siemens Gamesa announced plans to set up an offshore wind turbine blade finishing facility in Portsmouth, Virginia.

The facility was to be built on a 32ha site at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal with an investment of more than $200m.

Last month, the company agreed to deliver wind turbines for the Thor offshore wind project in Denmark, which is owned and operated by RWE.
