Targets ✅ Declarations ✅ Climate goals ✅ Wind farms ❌ Turning our ambitions into actual wind farms means rethinking offshore wind auctions. Current mechanisms add too much financial risk upfront, instead of focusing on promoting project realisation and value creation. 2024, particularly, is a pivotal year - with an unprecedented volume of offshore wind up for auction. If ever there was a time for action, it’s now. Later is too late. www.vestas.com/action

We've signed a conditional offshore wind agreement for Scotland's 1.1 GW Inch Cape project. The agreement is with Inch Cape Offshore Limited, an equal joint venture between ESB and Red Rock Renewables. If the project becomes firm: ◼ We will supply, install, and commission 72 of our V236-15.0 MW wind turbines ◼ The scope of the service contract includes a long-term comprehensive service agreement followed by a tailor-made operational support agreement.

Celebrating #WorldCleanupDay! We strive to embed sustainability into all our efforts. That includes raising awareness about waste prevention among our colleagues. Last year, our global team of 1,000 people from more than 20 countries organised regional clean-up activities around World Cleanup Day. We’ll be there again this year! Our commitment to sustainability encompasses #circularity. We're proud to pioneer solutions such as our groundbreaking blade recycling technology - ending landfill for epoxy-infused turbine blades and marking progress on our journey to zero-waste turbines by 2040. In early 2024, we were awarded the prestigious JEC World Composite Innovation Award in the Renewable Energy category in collaboration with the CETEC project team (Teknologisk Institut, Olin, Aarhus University). We also look forward to continued collaboration with our strategic suppliers and delivering on our promise of sustainability in everything we do.

And the winner is...team Vestas! We've been awarded the EY and Dansk Erhverv Sustainability Award in the Value Chain category - recognising our leadership in driving sustainability and innovation within the wind energy sector. Thank you to the jury for this honour, and to our dedicated colleagues, supportive suppliers, and forward-thinking customers. Your commitment to sustainability and innovation makes a tangible difference. This recognition is a testament to: ◾ Our innovative solutions such as our low-emission steel offering, which enables substantial CO2e emissions reductions at turbine level, resulting in a 66% reduction per kilogram of steel compared to conventional steel production methods. ◾ Growing customer demand for more sustainable turbine solutions, and a willingness to invest in them, as demonstrated by our customers Baltic Power and Vattenfall ◾ Strong collaboration, with our value chain and suppliers such as ArcelorMittal and within Vestas. Together, we can shape our industry toward a sustainable future. Sign up to our sustainability newsletter and read more about low-emission steel here: https://brnw.ch/21wMOvU #EYSustainabilityAwards

A stable secure and resilient energy system, powered by renewables. That’s what we need to build, despite a complex external market.  Delivering on this shared objective needs strong collaboration. That was the key focus of our annual Vestas Leadership Forum (VLF), attended by our senior leaders.  “Despite market uncertainty, we must continue accelerating the energy transition. Collaboration is critical, both within Vestas and across the global energy landscape. If we succeed here, we can ensure that the wind industry delivers on its full potential to advance decarbonisation, create jobs and increase energy security”, said CEO Henrik Andersen. This year's VLF featured insights from speakers like Markus Krebber (CEO, RWE), Robert Maersk Uggla (CEO, A.P. Moller Holding), Martin Lundstedt (CEO, Volvo Group), Christina Grumstrup Soerensen, Torsten Lodberg Smed (Senior Partners, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners), Kevan Hall (author of ‘Making the Matrix Work’) and Anders Runevad (Chair of Vestas’ Board) Thank you to our guests for joining and sharing your perspectives.

Ramping up for serial production: our flagship offshore wind turbine, the V236-15.0 MW.   Here’s a glimpse inside our nacelles factory in Poland, where we're preparing to deliver our first commercial offshore wind projects: He Dreith and Baltic Power.   Since its launch, the V236-15.0 MW has been on an impressive journey: ◾ 2022: Prototype manufactured and installed ◾ 2023: Extensive testing and verification completed, leading to Type Certification   Now ready for commercial use, the turbine has secured around 13 GW in firm orders and preferred supplier agreements globally. Watch this video to explore how we're working to fulfil these commitments.

Powering New York! We've secured our first offshore order in the US with Equinor. Key order highlights include: ◾ 810 MW ◾ 54 of our flagship V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines ◾ A multi-year service agreement "Offshore wind is set to play a pivotal role in expanding America’s energy landscape. With today’s announcement, we are significantly closer to building out the long-term future of a robust U.S. offshore market and putting turbines in the water", says Josh Irwin, Senior Vice President Offshore Sales, Vestas North America. This is a huge milestone for New York and the U.S. offshore industry. We’re excited to deliver a proven, reliable product to help New York achieve its ambitious offshore wind energy goals and provide resilient wind energy to its communities.

🇦🇺 We've successfully developed the Lotus Creek Wind Farm in Central Queensland - our first development project in Australia to reach financial close and construction readiness. And we've secured a 285 MW order with CS Energy to deliver wind turbines, including a long-term service contract. The project underlines our efforts to expand renewable energy development. Vestas Development has worked closely with numerous landowners, Traditional Owner groups and the local community while securing all critical planning and environmental approvals, grid connection, and delivering the overall wind farm design. By developing new renewable energy projects, Vestas continues to advance the energy transition while bringing value and benefits to local communities. The project is now owned by CS Energy, who have placed an order for: ▪️The supply and installation of 46 V162-6.2 MW wind turbines (EnVentus platform) ▪️A long-term Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. This ensures optimal energy production to the Australian grid and advances the energy transition. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dc-H-_QG
