Wind power is predictable

The price of oil, natural gas and other materials fluctuates. The price of wind is predictable – it’s free in every currency. This creates a strong business case for people and governments looking to invest in energy. 

Meeting the world’s energy demands
Wind turbines do not run at full capacity 365 days a year. But neither do conventional energy plants. In countries like Denmark, wind already meets one-fifth of the population’s total energy needs – and Denmark has achieved this using less than 20 percent of its actual wind resources. On very windy days, Denmark gets all of its electricity from the country’s 5,000 wind turbines. 

Making turbines even more reliable
Vestas have been harnessing the power of the wind for more than 30 years. Our turbines are already the most efficient on the market. And we’re working to make them even more efficient. In 2008, we opened the largest R&D centre in the wind power industry, housing more then 500 engineers. Our turbines are now 100 times more efficient than they were 25 years ago. As a result, the 35,500 Vestas turbines around the world produce enough energy to power every household in a country the size of Spain.
