'We have stopped seeing ourselves as merely providing turbines'

摘要

The wind sector last year was good to Vestas. The Danish company reclaimed its position as the world's leading wind turbine provider and reported revenues of €965 million. But now the firm wants to expand its focus away from solely providing wind solutions and is calling on the low-carbon industry to look at how technologies can work together as renewable energy begins to put a strain on grid systems. Wind became the biggest renewable-energy source by capacity in the US, surpassing hydro for the first time, in 2016. In Europe, wind, and renewables in general, are playing an increasingly vital role in energy supply.
