WindEurope: COVID-19 Impact on Wind Supply Chain

Currently only 7 wind energy manufacturing sites are closed. All of them are located in Spain and Italy, the countries with the strictest lockdown regulations.

In Spain the closed factories are: Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy’s blade factory in Aoiz; two LM Wind Power blade factories in Castellon and Leon and shipbuilding company Astilleros Gondán production in Fugueras. In Italy the closed factories are eTa’s blade factory in Fano; Celme’s tranformers production in Montebello Vicentino and Promau’s cylinders and cones production in Cesena.

The European wind supply chain experienced some disruptions to the supply of components and materials from China in February.  But Chinese component/material supply is now ramping back up again.
