At the same time, the use of fossil fuels threatens the climate. Therefore, the world is re-thinking its energy future. No other source of energy can match wind power – from both financial and environmental perspectives – so there is good reason to believe that wind power will be given a key role to play in the energy mix of the future. Headquarters Vestas Wind Systems A/S Alsvej 21 8940 Randers Denmark www.vestas.com vestas@vestas.com Why Modern Energy? Wind power is clean, independent, it can be installed very quickly, and the price is both predictable and competitive. In other words, it is the appropriate response to the challenges we are facing. That is why we at Vestas call it Modern Energy. Executive Management Ditlev Engel, President and CEO Henrik Nørremark, Executive Vice President and CFO Employees Vestas has 20,256 employees worldwide.1 Vestas – No. 1 in Modern Energy Vestas is the world leader in delivering Modern Energy. We have already installed over 38,000 wind turbines in 63 countries on five continents. In 2008, Vestas installed a new turbine every three hours worldwide, generating more than 60 million MWh a year, enough power to provide electricity for every household in a country the size of Spain with its population of 45 million. That is why Vestas is No. 1 in Modern Energy. Key financial figures for 2008 • Revenue: mEUR 6,035 • EBIT: mEUR 668 • EBIT margin: 11.1 per cent of revenue • Profit after tax: mEUR 511 • Net working capital: mEUR 299 • Net working capital: 5 per cent of revenue • Global market share 2008: 20 per cent2 About Vestas Vestas’ core business comprises the development, manufacture, sale and maintenance of wind technology that uses the energy of the wind to generate electricity. Our expertise in Modern Energy covers more than just wind turbines. We specialise in planning, installation, operation and maintenance. Our competencies cover everything from site studies to service and maintenance. As a strong, independent partner, Vestas can supply guidance to customers in connection with the development, financing and ownership of wind power projects. However, we never participate directly in these activities. On the contrary, Vestas is the independent system supplier. Vestas is distinguished by a high degree of vertical integration. By manufacturing the principal parts of the turbine itself, we increase the flexibility of our product development, reduce dependence on suppliers, and maintain a high level of manufacturing know-how. At the same time, production and sourcing are carried out as close to the market as possible. In 2008, Vestas opened the world’s largest research and development centre for wind energy in Aarhus, Denmark which will house more than 900 people - Vestas’ employees and partners. Vestas’ vision is Wind, Oil and Gas. With these words, we strive to make wind an energy source on a par with conventional energy sources such as oil and gas. Financial results for Q3 2009 • Revenue: mEUR 1,814 • EBIT: mEUR 244 • EBIT margin: 13.5 per cent of revenue • Net profit : mEUR 165 • Net working capital: mEUR 1,100 Outlook for 2009 • Revenue: approx. mEUR 7,200 • EBIT margin: 11-13 per cent of revenue • Net working capital: 10 to 20 per cent Outlook for 2010 • Revenue: mEUR 7,000 to mEUR 8,000 • EBIT margin: 10-12 per cent of revenue • Net working capital: 15 per cent 32009-12-16T15:35:11+01:00http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Vestasoffline/UK/MediaKitUK/?Page=4http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Vestasoffline/UK/MediaKitUK/?Page=4Wind turbine product range Today, Vestas has the widest serially-produced range of turbines in the wind power industry. Our turbine range comprises eight turbine types ranging from the V52-850 kW turbine to the V112-3.0 MW turbine, each tailored to different segments and wind regimes. An all-round performer, the V52-850 kW3 wind turbine is Vestas’ most adaptable turbine, well suited for a broad spectrum of medium and high winds. Vestas has installed more than 2,300 V52s all over the world. The V60-850 kW wind turbine is designed for Chinese wind and weather conditions. The V60-850 kW is optimized for medium and low wind sites, making it an efficient and powerful turbine for China’s biggest available wind classes. With the V82-1.65 MW4 wind turbine, Vestas has created a turbine well suited for large wind farms, where grid compliance issues are solved at the substation level. This means that investments in grid equipment at the turbine level can be avoided. Vestas has installed more than 1,600 V82-1,65MW all over the world. The V80-1.8 MW5 turbine has been engineered to make the most of aggressive sites, as it is suited for both high and moderate winds. The high energy yield of the V80 turbine makes it an excellent choice for locations where space is limited. Vestas has installed more than 1,000 V80-1.8 MW all over the world. The V80-2.0 MW6 is a pitch-regulated turbine for medium and high winds that features OptiSpeed® – a variable-speed technology which significantly increases productivity and makes it possible to keep sound levels within the limits stipulated by local regulations. This flexibility makes the V80 turbine particularly well suited to a very wide range of sites, both onshore and offshore. Vestas has installed more than 2,200 V80-2.0 MW all over the world. To create the new V90-1.8 MW and V90-2.0 MW7 turbines for low and medium wind, Vestas has drawn on 30 years’ experience. The V90-1.8/2.0 MW turbines are optimised for sites with low turbulence and low and medium winds. These innovative wind turbines can generate 25 per cent more energy than the corresponding V80s. Vestas has installed more than 1,200 V90 1.8 & 2.0 MW all over the world. The V100-1.8 MW brings together the very best of the 2.0 MW class in a single turbine designed for low wind onshore sites. It features a greater rotor diameter, enabling it to deliver higher output at low wind speeds. Because of this, the V1001.8 MW delivers excellent return on investment, even at sites where wind power plants have not previously been profitable. These sites can now be used to produce clean, stable, sustainable and competitive energy. When Vestas set out to establish a new benchmark for efficiency with its development of the V90-3.0 MW8 turbine, high priority was given to keeping weight down. The V90 is remarkably light for a turbine of its size – and remarkably efficient for a turbine of any dimension. Vestas has installed more than 700 V90-3.0 MW all over the world. The V112-3.0 MW is a hard-working, reliable turbine designed for low and medium wind speed sites onshore anywhere around the world. These are the areas that comprise tomorrow’s biggest market for wind power plants. Here, the V112-3.0 MW can generate more electricity than other turbines in the 3 MW class. It has an outstanding rotor-to-generator ratio that boosts efficiency. And it is designed to deliver industry-leading reliability, serviceability and availability, whatever the weather conditions and wind regimes. In other words, the V112-3.0 MW sets a whole new standard for turbine performance and efficiency. The V112-3.0 MW Offshore turbine has been developed to take full advantage of conditions at sea. It can generate more power than any other turbine in the 3 MW class. It offers an exceptional rotorto-generator ratio for greater efficiency, and delivers high reliability, serviceability and availability under all wind and weather conditions – setting a whole new standard for turbine performance an2009-12-16T15:35:11+01:00http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Vestasoffline/UK/MediaKitUK/?Page=5http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Vestasoffline/UK/MediaKitUK/?Page=5Vestas history - Vestas was founded in 1898 by H.S. Hansen, a blacksmith, in the small town of Lem in Denmark. He and his son, Peder Hansen, manufactured steel windows for industrial buildings. - In 1945, Peder Hansen established the company VEstjyskSTålteknik A/S, whose name was shortened to Vestas. The new company, which initially made household appliances, started to produce agricultural equipment. - During the second oil crisis in the 1970s, Vestas began to examine the potential of the wind turbine as an alternative source of clean energy. - In 1979, Vestas delivered the first wind turbines. The industry experienced a genuine boom at the start of the 1980s, but in 1986 Vestas was forced to suspend payments because the market in the United States was destroyed due to the expiration of a special tax legislation that provided advantageous conditions for the establishment of wind turbines. - In 1986, large sections of Vestas were sold off and a new company called Vestas Wind Systems A/S was founded at the end of the year – a company established to concentrate exclusively on wind energy. - - - Vestas has since developed from a pioneer in the industry with a staff of around 60 people in 1987 to a global, hi-tech and market-leading company employing more than 20,000 people9. In 2004, Vestas merged with another Danish wind turbine manufacturer, NEG Micon A/S. On 1 May 2005, Ditlev Engel became President and CEO of the company. Less than a month after taking up his new position, Ditlev Engel published his strategy for Vestas for 2005-2008: The Will to Win. It includes, among other things, a new vision for Vestas. This vision is Wind, Oil and Gas, stating that wind power is to be a source of energy on par with oil and gas. To strengthen its market leading position and to stress the fact that wind is an energy source on par with oil and gas, Vestas launched the new strategy No. 1 in Modern Energy in August 2007. At that time, Vestas had installed more than 33,500 wind turbines in 63 countries and on 5 continents. Vestas corporate structure Vestas has seven sales and service business units and four production business units around the world. In addition, Vestas has a business unit for human resources, one for research and development and another one for spare parts and repairs.
