Goldwind Americas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., announced that David Halligan, executive that helped launch Goldwind in the Americas, will be leaving as its CEO.
Halligan has plans to launch a new renewable energy venture focused on distributed and digital energy solutions. The venture will look to deploy Goldwind's Permanent Magnet Direct-Drive (PMDD) wind turbine technology, with industry-leading availability, as part of its complement of energy solutions.
Halligan joined Goldwind in 2010 as chief financial officer and member of the executive team charged with launching Goldwind in the Americas.
Serving as CEO for the last four years, Halligan commercialized Goldwind's PMDD technology in the Americas wind markets, achieved bankable status for the technology through the closing of milestone financings such as the tax equity financing of the 160-megawatt Rattlesnake project in McCulloch County, Texas, and expanded Goldwind's base of installed turbines to approximately 685 megawatts from Minnesota to Chile.
