// WIND VALUE CHAIN

Wind Value Chain Map

Wind power is centred on turbine and component manufacturing: upstream materials and castings, midstream blades, turbines and towers, downstream wind-farm development and operation, with offshore wind driving engineering and O&M demand.

The map is organised by the real "value-chain position" field in the company database. It currently covers … wind value chain companies. Nodes with actual records are clickable and pre-filter the company list; nodes showing 0 companies are greyed out and disabled. The "typical stages" notes are explanatory only — the database is not yet classified at that granularity.
