The London company ’quietrevolution’ opened manufacturing facilities in Pembroke Dock at the end of 2007. Volume production began in earnest in January 2008.
Currently, the plant puts out two turbines a week. Full capacity is about 50 a month, all of which will be needed to meet projected demands in 2009 and beyond.
Trend Hunter first spotted this company in 2007. The cost per turbine has risen slightly and is now close to $50K, but there seems to be no shortage of takers even at that price.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Wind Power Expansions
- Leveraging wind power for electricity generation is a trend that continues to expand.
- Volume Production
- Increasing production capacity for wind turbines is a trend that addresses the growing demand for renewable energy.
- Rising Costs
- The increasing cost per turbine indicates a trend towards higher investment in renewable energy infrastructure.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Renewable Energy
- The wind power industry presents disruptive innovation opportunities in generating clean and sustainable electricity.
- Manufacturing
- The manufacturing industry can benefit from the demand for wind turbines by increasing production capacity and improving manufacturing processes.
- Energy Infrastructure
- The rising costs of wind turbines create opportunities for innovation in developing more efficient and cost-effective energy infrastructure.
