Wind project planning

Policy and Regulatory Framework


In the planning phase of a wind power plant, it’s crucial to know about the policies and regulatory frameworks that are in place locally in the markets, as well as the enforcement of rules relating to wind energy.

The mission of Vestas specialised departments for policy and regulatory framework is a simple one: to maximise business case certainty for wind power projects through policy recommendations. This requires continuous gathering of political and regulatory market intelligence that identifies risk, threats and opportunities, which in turn facilitates accurate and confident decision-making.

How we can we help

Over our long history, Vestas has built up a unique, in-depth knowledge of which kind of policies and regulations that needs to be in place for wind power resources to be exploited most efficiently. We aim to share this expertise with customers and with governments worldwide, through policy recommendations that address many of the key issues involved in the large-scale integration of wind power.

That’s why every Vestas business unit across the Americas, Asia and Europe has a specialised policy and regulatory department. Their objective is to increase the business case certainty for developers and investors in wind power. To help achieve this, our experts make policy recommendations and give detailed insights to decision- and law makers, and help ensure that their regulatory wind energy frameworks are well designed for accommodating future energy needs - to the benefit of Vestas and, more importantly, our customers.
