Vestas strengthens its European wind energy manufacturing base. The Danish turbine maker acquired LM Wind Power's blade factory in Goleniów, Poland, enhancing its onshore and offshore production. This acquisition bolsters supply chain stability and supports European Union sustainability goals. The Goleniów facility will produce blades for Vestas' V172-7.2 MW onshore turbines. This integration into Poland's local production network reduces reliance on long-distance transport and mitigates geopolitical risks.
Further expanding its Polish footprint, Vestas will establish a new offshore blade factory in Szczecin by 2026. This development supports the EU's objective to reach 260 GW of new wind capacity by 2030. Vestas committed to reducing its supply chain greenhouse gas intensity by 45% before 2030. These actions align with the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. The company prioritizes local production and emissions reduction while adhering to new EU regulations. The global market for offshore wind turbine blades is expected to grow by 8% annually through 2032, positioning Vestas for future profitability.
