US Wind and Haizea Wind Group team up for new fabrication facility

Baltimore-based US Wind, owned by Italy’s Renexia, and Spain’s Haizea Wind Group Management have formed a long-term partnership to manage and operate Sparrows Point Steel, Maryland’s first permanent offshore wind factory in Baltimore County. The facility will manufacture steel components for the US offshore wind industry, including monopiles and towers.

The Sparrows Point Steel facility will have significant marshalling and storage land, as well as considerable quayside access and an adjacent drydock. The site was once the home of Bethlehem Steel when it was the largest steel production facility in the world.

US Wind’s MarWin and Momentum Wind projects will be among the first to procure components from Sparrows Point Steel.
