"Consolidating supply chain data within one resource will have a beneficial impact on Maine's economic development through better utilization of local resources," explains MWII Director and Industry Coordinator Paul Williamson.

The soon-to-be-live online wind energy-ME supply-chain product and business locator will help equipment manufacturers, wind project developers, and professional service providers identify potential business partners and supply chain suppliers through name and specification search tools.
