wpd opens up new wind energy market with entry into USA

Bremen (renewablepress) - The wpd Group will in future also be operating in the US market in the shape of wpd wind projects Inc.

The team based there is working on various wind farm projects in different states of the USA.

"We see major potential in the American wind energy market and we are looking forward to expanding wpd's international activities together with the local team, and implementing promising projects", states Dr. Gernot Blanke, CEO at wpd. wpd also has recent success to report in South America.
