Catching the Winds of Change

The Metro Denver market has scored another windfall in the alternative energies technology field.  The Denver Post and 9News are reporting that Renewable Energy Systems Americas, Inc. (RES-Americas), is in the process of relocating the headquarters from Austin, Texas to Broomfield, Colorado.  The company will relocate 70 employees from Texas and create 70 new positions as part of the move.

RES-Americas is a significant presence in the renewable wind energy sector by constructing wind farms to generate electricity, and is “actively working to develop 12 percent of the installed wind power capacity nationwide.”  The company currently has projects in six states and Canada, including the Cedar Point Wind Project in Elbert and Lincoln counties in Colorado.

Colorado Governor Bill Ritter has said “RES-Americas is another tremendous example of how Colorado is being recognized as a national and international leader in renewable, modern energy.”  The continued expansion and diversification of the Colorado economy into energy technology will provide a solid platform for economic recovery and real estate appreciation.  The wind turbines will provide part of the energy for this growth.
