GE Renewable Energy is partnering with the governments of Canada and Québec for the expansion of its wind turbine blade facility in Gaspé, Canada.
At an event attended by Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, and Québec Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Jonatan Julien, the parties announced their plans to jointly invest in the expansion of the facility owned by LM Wind Power, a GE Renewable Energy business. The expansion will result in the creation of 200 skilled jobs. The plant, which started operations in 2005 and was previously expanded in 2017, has manufactured over 10,000 blades.
