  • U.S. Wind Turbine Manufacturing: Federal Support for an Emerging Industry
    U.S. Wind Turbine Manufacturing: Federal Support for an Emerging Industry Updated January 16, 2013 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42023 U.S. Wind Turbine Manufacturing: Federal Support for an Emerging Industry Summary Increasing U.S. energy supply diversity has been the goal of many Presidents and Congresses. This commitment has been prompted by concerns about national security, the environment, and the U.S. balance of payments. Investments in new energy sources also have been seen as a way to expand domestic manufacturing. For all of these reasons, the federal government has a variety of policies to promote wind power. Expanding the use of wind energy requires installation of wind turbines. These are complex machines composed of some 8,000 components, created from basic industrial materials such as steel, aluminum, concrete, and fiberglass. Major components in a wind turbine include the rotor blades, a nacelle and controls (the heart and brain of a wind turbine), a tower, and other parts such as large bearings, transformers, gearboxes, and generators. Turbine manufacturing involves an extensive supply chain. Until recently, Europe has been the hub for turbine production, supported by national renewable energy deployment policies in countries such as Denmark, Germany, and Spain. However, support for renewable energy including wind power has begun to wane across Europe as governments there reduce or remove some subsidies. Competitive wind turbine manufacturing sectors are also located in India and Japan and are emerging in China and South Korea. U.S. and foreign manufacturers have expanded their capacity in the United States to assemble and produce wind turbines and components.

  • Long-Term Contracts for Offshore Wind Energy Generation
    D.P.U. 21-40 Responses to the Department’s First Set of Information Requests Attachment DPU 1-12 Page 1 of 156 H.O.: Alice Davey February 23, 2021 Patrick Woodcock Commissioner Department of Energy Resources 100 Cambridge St. Suite 1020, Boston, MA 02114 Subject: 1600 MW Offshore Wind RFP The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defined Environmental Justice as follows: “Environmental justice (EJ) is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies”. In other words, Environmental Justice is racial justice. As currently drafted, the 1600 MW Offshore Wind RFP fails to make support of environmental justice an important element of the RFP selection criteria, thus leaving the opportunity for the project to have a profound environmental and economic impact on the Commonwealth’s too numerous environmental justice communities to the good will of project developers. We can and must do better. This is the largest such project in the Commonwealth’s history and represents a capital investment of between $4-5B. The workers and companies engaged in this solicitation have a leg up to become the leaders of tomorrow’s offshore wind industry. Your Administration projects that half of Massachusetts’ energy may come from offshore wind by 2050. This solicitation represents just the beginning of what will be tens of billions of dollars’ worth of economic activity and tens of thousands of jobs in the decades ahead. Choices made today set the course for industry growth and workforce development for the years to come.
