Wind power is fast

When we say wind is ‘fast’, we don’t mean that wind turbines turn quickly. We mean that wind power plants can start producing energy very quickly. In fact, you can get a Vestas wind power plant up and running in a year – much faster than conventional energy plants – and this means a quick return on investment.

Take the V90-3.0 MW. Thanks to modern materials and design, it’s lighter than ever before, making it easier to transport and faster to install. And it’s efficient enough to pay for itself in energy more than 35 times during its lifetime.

Making modern energy an attractive investment
Together the more than 40,000 Vestas wind turbines around the globe already generate more than 60 million MWh a year. We predict that wind will cover at least 10 percent of the world’s electricity consumption by 2020. This will require more investment in wind power around the world, but we know it can happen. 

With more than 500 engineers housed in the industry’s largest R&D centre, we work constantly to shorten the time it takes to set up and install our turbines, so wind power will become even more attractive. 

When the investment is made to create a wind plant it becomes a win-win situation for both the environment and the economy. Not only do Vestas wind turbines create clean CO2 free energy, the wind industry also creates thousands of sustainable jobs.
