CanWEA / CME Report - Wind Industry Supply Chain Opportunities for Canadian Manufacturers
Wind energy represents a major industrial development and economic stimulus opportunity for Canada. Between now and 2020 it is estimated that $1 trillion will be invested in new wind energy facilities worldwide and that more than 1.75 million jobs will be created in this rapidly growing industry. The rapid pace of wind energy development has created a strong demand for wind turbines, leaving turbine manufacturers with high demand for parts and services. There is a growing opportunity in the following sectors:
- manufacturing of components and sub components
- construction
- steel fabrication
- transportation
- engineering
- operations and maintenance
- And more
