Alstom Energy Manufacturing plant that assembles wind turbine nacelles for Alstom Wind, North America in Amarillo, Texas. The 115,000 sq. ft. building was constructed on a 19 acre site and serves as the company’s manufacturing, energy development and sales divisions. Alstom Wind is a subsidiary of ALSTOM Power, Inc., an international power and transportation company.
