In an effort to advance offshore wind energy technology and expand the emerging industry’s skilled workforce, Gulf Wind Technology announced today it is collaborating with Shell to establish a research, training and technology demonstration program at GWT’s Avondale Global Gateway facility in New Orleans, site of the old Avondale Shipyard.
GWT, supported by a $10 million investment from Shell, will create 30 new direct jobs with an average annual salary of $83,000. Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will result in an additional 54 new indirect jobs, for a total of 84 new jobs.
