KCRW recently caught up with Matthew Kelly on the transition from rock climber to wind turbine technician.

Our team recently welcomed a photographer from the LA Times to see our talented wind technicians at work. Our highly trained at-height access technicians are second to none in consistently delivering value to our clients through clear communication and the ability to juggle the challenges a project may present. We're proud to see them showcased as part of the growing clean energy workforce.

Wind power continues to be a dominant player in the global energy markets. According to recent analysis by BloombergNEF, the wind market had a record setting year in 2020, commissioning nearly 100 gigawatts (GW) of new projects. As installed capacity of wind power continues to grow globally, the warranty period of a large number of wind turbines is coming to an end, making wind farm maintenance and repair a key component to maintaining the growing industry.
