“This development is further proof that we’re well-positioned to be the hub for this growing industry as we approach our renewable energy goal,” said Gov. Gina Raimondo. Clean energy jobs are jobs of tomorrow, and I’m thrilled that yet another company in the wind sector supply chain is choosing to make the Ocean State home.”

“The geographical location and support offered by Governor Raimondo, Commerce Secretary Pryor and their teams has been critical to our decision in locating our US Headquarters in Providence," he explained.
