Wind power is independent

Wind knows no limits and doesn’t recognise national boundaries. It’s an unlimited source of energy indigenous to every country in the world. Wind creates local jobs – and it has the power to free countries from energy dependence.

Energy independence and local jobs
This is important for both business and political decision-makers. Energy is becoming an increasingly strategic and political issue for governments around the world. Many countries need to import power to fuel their economies and homes – and many governments want to increase their energy independence.

As well as freeing a country from energy imports, energy independence benefits economies by boosting local employment levels. And so does Vestas. We have already opened two new factories in the US and plan to open an R&D centre in Houston in 2010. 

Harnessing the power of the wind efficiently
The wind is everywhere. There is an unlimited supply – and it’s free. But it doesn’t turn into energy all by itself. The key is using technologically advanced turbines to harness the wind’s power effectively and efficiently. In just three hours, a Vestas V90-3.0 MW turbine can produce enough electricity to supply an average European household with electricity for a whole year. Our goal is to bring the benefits of this technology to people around the world.
