Cape Wind has entered an agreement with Mass Tank Sales and EEW to build a facility that manufactures steel monopole foundations and other various metal components for their planned wind farm offshore from Cape Cod in the US state of Massachusetts.

In addition to promoting greater energy independence for the Massachusetts Bay Area, the project will create a number of jobs during both the construction and operational phases.  president of Cape Wind Jim Gordon said, ‘These new manufacturing jobs coming to Massachusetts, along with the 600 to 1000 construction jobs and 150 (direct and indirect) jobs during the 25-year operations phase for Cape Wind will help establish Massachusetts as a leader in offshore wind energy.’
Mass Tank is an internationally operating company that focuses on the design and production of above and underground tanks and vessels.
Germany-based EEW specialises in the manufacturing of pipes for the offshore, oil and gas process plan, and steel construction industries.
The offshore wind farm is the first to secure federal and state approval and to be issued a lease to operate by the federal government.
The project’s 130 turbines will start producing power by 2012.
