WINDPOWER 2010 Showcases Northeast Ohio
2Northeast Ohio continues to emerge as a hot spot for advanced energy activity and inspiration.
This week at WINDPOWER 2010 in Dallas, Northeast Ohio was a center of attention. On Monday, GE and Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation announced a long-term partnership to make Lake Erie the site of the first fresh water offshore wind farm in the United States.
In addition, more than 40 Northeast Ohio companies – companies of all sizes and areas of expertise – were represented at the show, and they were doing business. Many of our largest and brightest corporate citizens – including Timken, Sherwin-Williams, Lincoln Electric, Parker Hannifin, Eaton Corporation, Applied Industrial Technologies – were there. They are already serving this growing industry and finding opportunities to do more.
The public sector and partnership organizations were also well represented – including Gov. Ted Strickland, the Ohio Department of Development, collaboration champion NorTech Energy Enterprise, The Cleveland Foundation, and supply chain leader GLWN.
WINDPOWER 2010 is the fastest-growing trade show in North America, with approximately 1,400 exhibitors and 24,000 attendees at this year’s event. And Northeast Ohio was a main attraction at the four-day event.

Thank you for your comment, Tim. You make a very good point about the potential impact of a four-person business. I think that’s exactly the point being made by Chinese firm Mingyang Wind Power Industry Group Co., Ltd. I hope you’ll read my latest post on that bit of news out of Dallas. Keep up the great work at COSE.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on all the goings on at WINDPOWER, Gregg. I’m closely following all of your updates on twitter. It is good to see that Northeast Ohio is out in force to demonstrate that we have the know-how, the resources, and the will to make this region a powerhouse in the alternative energy industry. We’ll keep here at COSE to make the case to our small businesses to consider energy efficiency and sustainability, which is definitely important, because there’s power in numbers. One four person business may not be able to do much on its own, but if all 16,000 of our members can make changes, then Cleveland will truly become a global leader on this issue.
