American Wind Energy Association

The Southeast is an interesting place.

Back when I was with the American Wind Energy Association, the predecessor to ACP, we used to talk a lot about how, you know, Southeast isn't a great place for wind, right? You just don't have very high wind speeds.

The actual resource itself is not that great.

but the southeast has historically been a major contributor to the supply chain for wind industry so you know there are like 120 different manufacturing facilities supporting the wind space in the southeast and we used to always tell that story because we didn't have a great story around the projects that were being built in the southeast but there's an ability to bring in other parts of the country that maybe don't have that good resource through the supply chain of manufacturing activity The southeast is kind of probably the modern version of the Rust Belt, right? We've seen a lot of the manufacturing activity in this country migrate to that part of the US.
