Demand for energy is increasing everywhere, from one end of the world to the other. There's an emphasis on the environment, sustainability, security, and energy efficiency. Safety is also a primary concern. Energy companies are responsible for keeping up with ever-changing regulations, all while exploring new technologies and maintaining current operations.
With the presence of the GE Energy plant in Greenville, SC and the announcement of Clemson University’s multi-million dollar wind turbine facility at its Restoration Institute research campus in North Charleston, South Carolina is becoming a hub for the energy industry. GE Energy operates the world’s largest gas turbine plant in the world, producing the majority of the world's gas turbines for global export. GE utilizes a complex network of suppliers to keep its operations running smoothly. The wind energy project positions Clemson and South Carolina to become national leaders in the development of wind energy. These initiatives and others promise to bring many more energy related businesses and suppliers to the Southeast.
