Sustainable Energy
In the late 1970s during what’s now known as the second
oil crisis, a small number of engineers were hard at work
in a little factory in Western Jutland. The work was car
-
ried out in secret, not because they knew their work
would change how the world was powered in the future,
but because very few believed in their idea. That idea,
to harness the power of the wind to produce sustainable
energy, was in fact very far from the primary product of
their company, Vestas, at the time: kitchen appliances
and agricultural machinery.
But the engineers were persistent, and through imagination,
experimentation, commitment and collaboration, they
and Vestas endeavoured to make their unbelievable idea
believable. And so, after several failed attempts, Vestas
installed its first wind turbine in 1979 based on the three-
bladed design that today still dominates wind energy
and is referred to as “the Danish concept”.
Since then, both Vestas and wind energy have evolved
tremendously together. While Vestas’ first wind turbine had
a rotor diameter of 32 ft. (10m) and a capacity of 30 kW,
today’s turbines are several hundred times more powerful,
with rotors of more than 492 ft. (150m) in diameter. During
this time, wind turbines have gone from being an experi
-
ment in a windy part of Denmark to becoming the cheap
-
est source of electricity in markets all over the world.
Today, Vestas and wind energy have changed the global
energy landscape, and as the leader within sustainable
energy, Vestas has pioneered wind energy in all parts
of the world. Wind energy and other sustainable energy
sources are overtaking traditional energy sources, and
Vestas continues to develop the solutions that will ensure
a healthy world for future generations. The journey has just
begun, and the imagination, experimentation, collaboration
and commitment to the unbelievable that brought the
first wind turbines to life, continues to drive Vestas and
sustainable energy forward.
