Energy Composites and SSP enter wind turbine blade partnership

By Kari Williamson

With its base in Wisconsin Rapids, the joint venture will be situated in the midst of the upcoming Great Lakes/Midwest wind turbine market.

SSP will offer complete aerodynamic and structural design for blades and moulds, production of prototype wind turbine blades, and ramp-up of blade production based on the partnership with ECC.

ECC will manufacture wind turbine blades for all customers based either on the customer’s own design or a blade design developed via the partnership with SSP.

The JV will manufacture moulds and prefabricated root segments for both companies and their customers.
