Into the wind. Yes, we are!

2. Hats off to a cleaner future
As America’s leaders
look to increase wind
energy’s national use
from its current level of
4% to 20% in the next
16 years, Siemens is
gearing up to meet that
goal for a cleaner
future.

3. Together, we’re making a difference
With the Wind VIII
project, Siemens is
helping MidAmerican
Energy increase wind-
sourced energy to 39%
of its owned generation
capacity.

4. Our work is truly uplifting
The Wind VIII project
supports more than 800
manufacturing jobs in
Iowa and Kansas.
Siemens employees are
diligent in maintaining
high quality standards.

5. Wind energy is keeping
jobs in Iowa. The Wind
VIII project means
adding manufacturing,
construction and other
jobs that benefit the
local economy.
Things are looking up

6. Woven into fabric of the community
The town motto in Fort
Madison is “Always
Moving.” That spirit is
in the people working
at the local Siemens
facility, and we believe
it drives our innovation
and productivity.

7. Privileged to lead from the heartland
There is a revolution
going on in the
heartland. By changing
the way people think
about manufacturing in
the U.S., Siemens is
bringing jobs that help
revitalize our economy.

8. Siemens wind turbines’
small footprints allow
for continued land use
with minimal loss or
interruption.
Standing tall, but walking softly
