Gamesa Corp. Tecnologica SA, Spain’s largest wind-turbine maker, plans to close a blade factory in Pennsylvania to cut costs after a U.S. tax incentive expired.
The Zamudio, Spain-based company will fire 62 people and close the Ebensburg plant on March 31, Frank Fuselier, a spokesman, said today in an e-mail. Gamesa’s other U.S. facility in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, which produces nacelles, the car-sized units that house turbines’ machinery, won’t be affected.
