GLWN and BlueGreen Alliance Partner with Illinois, Indiana, Montana, West Virginia on Wind Energy Project

10/18/2010
GLWN, a non-profit dedicated to boosting the domestic content of North American wind turbines, has announced a partnership with the BlueGreen Alliance Foundation to increase the capacity of small- to medium-sized wind manufacturers.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded BlueGreen a $560,000 Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) grant that will help manufacturers develop a domestic supply chain for the wind sector.

GLWN will work with four MEP centers: the Illinois Manufacturing Extension Center, Indiana Purdue TAP, Montana MEP, and West Virginia MEP to develop programs and services towards this goal. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), U. S. Steelworkers, and the Alliance for American Manufacturing will also partner on the project.
