MHI Vestas Advances U.S. Business with New Boston Office

Following the announcement of its first U.S. office in January, MHI Vestas celebrated the opening of its Boston location last night with a celebration of 120 guests, including some big names.

"Choosing Boston, and now opening the office, shows MHI Vestas’ commitment to the US offshore wind market and to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," said Philippe Kavafyan, CEO of MHI Vestas who travelled to the U.S. for this occasion. "We feel this is the right location to deliver on Vineyard Wind, the first large-scale, commercial offshore wind project in the US, and to contribute to future projects in the region."

The state of Massachusetts was represented by Patricia Haddad who said: "By MHI Vestas establishing a presence in the Commonwealth, they show a firm commitment to partnering with those of us working to grow this new Massachusetts industry."

The company has already hired its first staff members at the new location and will continue expanding for the foreseeable future. It will focus on project activity, sales, and market strategy as MHI Vestas gears up toward the installation of its V164-9.5 MW turbines at Vineyard Wind, the U.S. market’s first commercial-scale offshore wind project.
