The project is being undertaken by collaboration of Newton, Harvey County and state governments and their economic development agencies. President Willy Lowndes said that Newton plant will be the company’s largest plant. He said the company is still in the process of getting patents and certification for the towers, but when it does, he expects the market to be strong. He added that steel turbine towers are cost-effective to about 260 feet. The towers provide a cost-effective way to boost wind towers an extra 100 feet, reducing the amount of steel, and the size of the foundation.
