Supply Chain Map
Mapping the Backbone of the Southeast Wind Energy Industry
Welcome to the Southeast Wind Energy Industry Supply Chain Asset Mapping Project. This interactive map showcases over 500 supply chain assets across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Discover the diverse resources, businesses, and capabilities that are driving the growth of the wind energy industry throughout the Southeast.
Despite the very small amount of utility-scale wind installed, the Southeast is home to a significant portion of the industry’s manufacturing supply chain. At present, there are at least 112 manufacturing facilities in the 11 southeastern states that provide components to the wind industry.
The Southeast is also home to some of the greatest ports and logistics infrastructure in the country. With deep channels, ample lay-down space, and a skilled maritime workforce, the region’s port system is well-positioned with direct or transferrable skills to support the wind industry, both land-based and offshore.
Because of these advantages, wind energy provides a tremendous economic development opportunity for the Southeast. As land-based and offshore wind projects develop, an ecosystem of co-located suppliers follows, expanding upon our existing strengths and presenting an opportunity for significant growth.
