Because of this, innovation is the key to moving forward.

This month, WindESCo hosted a webinar featuring panelists with wind industry asset management, operations, and OEM backgrounds. Panelists from Longroad, Pattern, BP Wind, and Siemens Gamesa participated in an open discussion about the challenges and successes of the industry from the past year.
