FORT MADISON — Siemens Gamesa has signed a letter of intent for new orders in the U.S. that could bring plants in Fort Madison and Hutchinson, Kansas, back online. The company announced in May that it would be "hibernating" the two plants due to a lack of orders, effectively putting 263 employees — 171 Fort Madison and 92 Hutchinson — out of work. The nacelle plant in Hutchinson is set to go into hibernation this month, while Fort Madison's turbine blade plant was scheduled to go offline in June.
