The company, as required by law, on Monday gave 60-days notice to 92 workers at its Fairless Hills nacelle facility and 73 others at its Ebensburg blade plant of the impending furloughs on 2 September. Gamesa has about 250 employees at each plant. It has 1GW of US wind turbine production capacity.

“These are temporary furloughs, not dismissals,” David Rosenberg, marketing vice president in the US, tells Recharge.
