Broadwind Energy says the Development Corporation of Abilene awarded its Broadwind Services subsidiary, Energy Maintenance Service, a financial assistance package of about $902,000 which will be applied to facility improvements and support equipment at the company’s drivetrain service center in Abilene, Texas. A portion of the assistance package will create jobs at the drivetrain-service center. The center will provide a comprehensive suite of multi-megawatt gearbox remanufacturing services, including failure analysis, engineering, disassembly, gear regrinding, clean assembly, and testing functions.
“Abilene is the center of wind energy in Texas. This drivetrain service center will harness Broadwind’s 85 years of gearing experience with our services expertise to offer turn-key gearbox remanufacturing,” says Peter C. Duprey, president and CEO of Broadwind.
