3 Wind Capacity Installations, by Region Source: AWEA U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report 2012 Wind Turbine & Component Manufacturing in the U.S. During 2012 at least 559 windrelated manufacturing facilities produced a product for the U.S. wind energy industry across 44 states. The U.S. wind energy supply chain contains 13 utility-scale blade facilities, 12 tower facilities, and 12 turbine nacelle assembly facilities, all spread across 18 states. The domestic content of wind turbines has grown from less than 25% prior to 2005 to more than 70% at the end of 2012, according to U.S. International Trade Commission data and analysis from the U.S. Department of Energy. 3
