A new wave of energy
Vestas is a leading offshore wind turbine manufacturer with +10 GW of offshore wind globally installed across 52 projects to date including Vestas’ first order in the U.S., New York's 810 MW Empire Wind 1.
Offshore wind pioneers since 1995
We’ve been pushing the boundaries of offshore wind for over 25 years. Together with our partners, we’ve installed and maintained turbines in frozen tundras, tropical trade winds, and tsunami-stricken waters.
In the U.S, offshore wind presents real opportunities to create good-paying jobs and long-term investments and Vestas is taking an active role in building a sustainable U.S. offshore industry that will bring long-term economic impacts to local communities.

We must turn procurements into projects
In 2024, East Coast states could award up to 16 GW of offshore wind across six solicitations, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is planning to conduct new lease auctions that could unlock another 50 GW of new lease areas.
This shows that government plans for wind power are becoming increasingly ambitious.
But plans are not wind farms.
