According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy, jobs in the clean energy sector rose by more than 140,000 in 2023, including solar and wind.
“Pensacola, Fla., is a critical home of wind power in the United States,” says Blue Wind Technology President Henry Kelley. “Roughly 60-70% of the United States on shore wind manufacturing comes through Pensacola, so we are a key player.”
Blue Wind is responsible for supplying the demand of housing for GE wind turbines.
“GE will lift the roof off and they’ll put the generator in,” says Kelley. “And then they’ll prepare it and ship it in to a wind farm somewhere across the United States, and that’s what actually generates the wind power.”
