Wind turbines and the environment

Vestas develops, manufactures and installs wind turbines that generate renewable energy. Wind energy is easy on the environment, especially because it is a renewable, predictable and clean energy source. The benefits of wind energy by far exceed the environmental impact created from production, transportation, erection, servicing and the final disassembly of the wind turbines.

We chart and assess the environmental impact of a wind turbine throughout its lifetime. And we strive to ensure that the turbines are as neutral in their surroundings as possible. Our development activities include solutions for reducing noise from the rotating blades.

If you would like to know how wind turbines impact the environment, take a closer look at one of the two acknowledged methods: Life cycle assessment (LCA) or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
