Wind. It means the world to us.
Wind, Oil and Gas is Vestas’ vision, which expresses the ambition of making wind an energy source on a par with fossil fuels. Wind power accounted for the largest, second-largest or third-largest share of new power capacity in the EU and the USA in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Wind power has thus become a natural part of the modern energy supply because, among renewable sources of energy, wind power is currently the best means of ensuring that the many national climate targets are reached. Vestas expects that, if the necessary political decisions on a national and international level to expand the power grid and appoint appropriate locations are made now, the share of wind power relative to the total electricity production can be increased. Vestas still believes that in the long term, the wind market will show double digit growth, and that wind power will account for a considerable proportion of the extension of the world’s total power capacity. The key to realising the potential of wind power is having long-term, national schemes that provide the industry with the necessary opportunities to plan and invest in employees, technology and production facilities. Along the way, the wind power industry, including the many suppliers, will be able to create more than two million jobs.
