Vestas

The turbine manufacturer seeks to ditch carbon offsets and instead deliver CO2 reductions only through direct actions

The contract with Akuo Energy includes the installation and commissioning of the wind turbines as well as a 15-year service agreement

The Beam Hill Wind Farm, located in County Donegal, consists of eight turbines

The move will affect all of its 362 employees at the factory

Vestas retained the top spot as the largest turbine provider for onshore wind power in 2017. That’s according to new figures from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), which show just under 47GW of onshore wind turbines were deployed around the world in 2017, with four manufacturers accounting for more than half of this share. These […]

Construction of a $160 million (£94.8m) project combining solar, wind and storage is set to begin in Australia as it reached financial close. Tesla will be providing the battery storage while Vestas will supply 12 turbines for the Kennedy Energy Park, which will be connected to the national electricity network via a single connection point. […]

Vestas has confirmed it is working with Tesla to develop new battery storage technologies. The Danish wind energy giant and the clean technology manufacturer aim to find better ways of storing the excess energy created by wind turbines. This stored power would then be efficiently discharged when the wind isn’t blowing but electricity is required. Vestas […]

Danish wind giant Vestas reclaimed the spot as top onshore turbine manufacturer in 2016. That’s according to figures compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), which show the firm’s products were used to install 8.7GW of wind capacity, totalling 16% of all onshore wind installations last year.
