Landmark Projects

What is a landmark project? 

Defined by their scale, technological innovation, or symbolic importance in the transition to renewable energy, landmark projects mark key milestones set new standards for the industry. They may be the largest of their kind, the first in a region or globally, or successfully built in some of the world’s most challenging environments.

With more than four decades of experience, Vestas has led the delivery of projects with this level of ambition and impact. As they grow in scale, so does their complexity and strategic importance. These projects are vital to enabling a future built on affordable, sustainable, and secure energy.

By combining global reach with strong local execution, Vestas meets these challenges head-on, creating long-term value for communities and accelerating the energy transition worldwide.

Delivering the world’s landmark wind projects

South America

We have been advancing the Serra do Tigre and Babilônia Centro projects in Brazil, totalling 1.3 GW of capacity.

North America

SunZia, the largest clean energy infrastructure project in U.S. history, is well underway.

Europe

We are advancing the He Dreiht and Baltic Power offshore giga-projects in the North and Baltic seas and preparing to deliver the wind part of the Tâmega hydro-wind project in Portugal.

Australia

We are building 1.3 GW Golden Plains, which is set to be the largest wind energy project in the Southern Hemisphere.

Technology 

Our commitment to technology is key to delivering scalable, reliable and sustainable solutions. In order to pull off projects of this scale, factors such as climatic conditions, optimal turbine mix, and varied hub heights must be thoroughly analysed and discussed with the customer to ensure maximum capacity and long-term value. 

Vestas leverages its industry-leading turbines and global expertise to provide customised solutions uniquely suited to each projects conditions. 

Partnership

Sustainable growth and scale require strong partnerships across the renewable industry, and at Vestas we consider partnerships as a strategic enabler to evolve as a leading and attractive partner in the emerging, renewable energy ecosystem. 

Over the decades, we have prioritised long-term relationships with our strategic suppliers and customers, learning from and growing with each other. Today, we are expanding this approach by differentiating offerings across business areas.

 

CSR and Sustainability

At Vestas, we recognise that leading the transition to renewables requires fully including and engaging with local communities. We often engage with the communities around our project sites to identify their specific needs, working closely with community leaders and our customers to create sustainable plans that deliver a lasting impact, well beyond the lifetime of the project.

Project Execution

Vestas has decades of experience executing projects in remote and challenging locations. Successfully managing such operations requires extensive planning and coordination.

To ensure smooth execution from both safety and logistics perspectives, we meticulously assess and mitigate potential risks and challenges for each project. This could involve improving road conditions or working closely with local and regional authorities to secure all necessary transport permits.

Local commitment

Projects of this magnitude can significantly shape a region's renewable energy landscape and leave a lasting impact on local communities. They not only create local jobs and support across the supply chain, but can also drive economic investment through critical infrastructure improvements, such as upgraded roads and facilities. By producing components locally, we minimise transportation distances and reduce our carbon footprint, which is a priority for both Vestas and our customers.

Safety

At Vestas, safety is our highest priority. We ensure that our employees, external suppliers, and contractors receive the comprehensive training they need to perform their tasks effectively and safely. We aim to be a trusted partner to our customers by demonstrating leadership, anticipating risks and identifying opportunties across the value chain to maximise value.
