Vestas - No. 1 in Modern Energy

All over the world, people must prepare to use new forms of energy. The sharp rise in energy consumption calls for a sustainable resource that does not create more greenhouse gases, pollution or waste for future generations. Wind power is a renewable, predictable and clean source of energy. Substantial capacity can be built up quickly, offering the energy independence demanded by the world's largest and fastest-growing economies. This is why we call wind power, modern energy.

With a 23 per cent market share in 2007, Vestas is the world's leading supplier of modern energy solutions. We have installed more than 35,000 wind turbines in 63 countries on five continents. We install an average of one wind turbine every four hours around the clock. In 2007 our wind turbines generated more than 60 million MWh - or enough electricity to supply millions of households. These are some of the reasons why Vestas is No. 1 in Modern Energy.
