A European company has cancelled plans to build blades for offshore wind turbines in coastal Virginia
A European company has canceled plans to build blades for offshore wind turbines in coastal Virginia, the latest sign of struggle within the U.S.'s nascent industry. Siemens Gamesa confirmed the cancellation in a statement Friday. The company's proposed $200 million factory at the Port of Virginia in Portsmouth would have created more than 300 jobs and aided the state in its aspirations to become a hub for offshore wind projects amid the nation's efforts to tackle climate change.
The nixed plans, however, will not impact the construction of Dominion Energy's enormous wind farm off the coast of Virginia Beach. Those turbines will come from Siemens Gamesa facilities in Europe. Dominion said its 176-turbine project will be the largest offshore wind farm under development in the U.S. The administration of President Joe Biden said it wants to build 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030 — enough to power more than 10 million homes.
