Deutsche Windtechnik advances the Belgian wind energy sector by introducing independent wind turbine services

Bremen (Germany) / Hasselt (Belgium) (renewablepress) - Deutsche Windtechnik has announced the establishment of its latest entity, Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium B.V. The move marks the beginning of a shift in Belgium's wind energy landscape, introducing choice and flexibility to wind park operators.

With the establishment of the Deutsche Windtechnik entity in Belgium, the company’s entry into the Belgian market introduces O&M independence from manufacturers for wind turbine operators. Geert Timmers, Managing Director of Deutsche Windtechnik's Netherlands location, will oversee the operations of the new unit. He said: "We are very happy to offer our independent service in the Belgian market. Up till now, turbine manufacturers have dominated the service market in Belgium. Deutsche Windtechnik's flexible range of services will open the Belgian market. And this will benefit Belgian operators, who finally have a real choice regarding their service provider." Independence from manufacturers will simplify the maintenance of wind farms with different technologies and stimulate competition.

Deutsche Windtechnik expands operations across Belgium, offering full-spectrum services

With headquarters formally based in Hasselt and service hubs strategically planned across Belgium, Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium B.V. caters to multi-brand wind park operators, offering a spectrum of services ranging from basic maintenance to full maintenance.
