Clipper Windpower is a wind turbine manufacturing company founded in 2001 by James G.P. Dehlsen.[1] It designed one of the largest wind turbines in the United States, manufactured in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was working collaboratively with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Affected by a global recession, in December 2010 Clipper Windpower was acquired by United Technologies Corporation. It was sold in 2012 to Platinum Equity.[2] The company has reduced its manufacturing and is supporting its turbines.[3]
