Making a technology leader
What makes a technology leader?
For decades, the wind industry has measured progress in terms of newer, larger turbines. But as the global leader in sustainable energy solutions, we know that true innovation goes beyond size. It lies in creating the technology of tomorrow: scalable, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions that can deliver high and consistent value for customers and society for many years to come.
These are our goals and the actions we’re taking:
Scalable Solutions
Modularisation helps us make our systems more flexible, easier to maintain and scalable. Our advanced modular designs let us customise solutions for customers quickly, bringing innovations to market faster with proven Vestas technology.
Standardised processes allow us to streamline development, reduce downtime and guarantee product reliability for our customers. It also eases global market entry via compliance with international standards, and safeguards both workers and the environment through adherence to safety protocols.
We’re focused on scaling sustainably, using and optimising the solutions we already have.
Reliable Solutions
- We strive to deliver predictable and reliable turbines that reduce downtime and increase project certainty for our customers.
- We extend the lifetime of our turbines with high-quality, thoroughly tested materials and predictive maintenance. This approach not only advances industry technology but also promotes sustainable supply chains.
- All our turbines go through an extensive test and verification programme, where we spend thousands of hours testing main components to ensure our products live up to quality and performance standards.
Sustainable Solutions
We remain committed to a science-based decarbonisation of our own operations (scope 1 and 2) and our supply chain (scope 3) without using carbon offsets.
Our goal is zero-waste wind turbine production by 2040 by improving our material efficiency, designing circular blades, reducing waste from our suppliers, and repairing and refurbishing components.
Our Technology Centres
Vestas has pioneered the wind industry for more than 40 years. Throughout the years we have opened technology centres around the world focusing on research and development of our products and solutions. Our main centres can be found in Aarhus, Porto and Chennai. Even though the centres are scattered across the world, collaboration is essential to deliver on our promises. Follow along as we introduce each of the centres in the upcoming months.
