Wind Industry Profile of


Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. have agreed to form a joint venture dedicated to offshore wind energy

The JV will combine Vestas’ and MHI’s current capabilities within offshore wind turbines.

Vestas will transfer the development of the V164-8.0 MW, the V112 offshore order book, existing offshore service contracts and approx 300 employees to the JV. MHI will inject EUR 100m in cash into the JV and will inject another EUR 200m based on certain milestone achievements reflecting the natural early product life cycle of the V164 turbine. As part of the JV it has been agreed between the parties that Vestas is contracted by the JV to finalise the planned development of the V164-8.0 MW on behalf of the JV. In addition, Vestas and MHI will provide various services to the JV. The JV will start its business with the current V112 offshore and the V164-8.0 MW turbines. At a later stage, the JV will explore the possibilities of integrating the MHI hydraulic DDT technology into the 8 MW platform which would make the JV positioned to offer a product line-up variety that best suits customer demands.

Leveraging on the respective strengths of each organisation, the JV will be well-positioned to win an expanding share of the offshore wind turbine market and become a global leader in this attractive and high-growth market; with Vestas’ comprehensive technological capabilities and long-standing track record within the overall wind power market, and the offshore wind segment specifically, and MHI’s strong and long-standing presence in global power markets and related technologies, the JV will benefit from significant synergies.
