An Assessment of the Economic Impact of the Wind Turbine Supply Chain in Illinois

The Electricity Journal, vol. 23, issue 7, 75-93

Abstract: The enormous growth of wind energy in Illinois and around the country has led to a shortage of wind turbines. Turbine manufacturers have sold out their capacity into 2010. To the extent that Illinois manufacturing can integrate itself into the wind turbine supply chain, Illinois can enjoy the economic benefits from both having wind farms and supplying the parts to build them.
