If Vestas are successful in winning new contracts in the upcoming auction round, they say they want to expand their operations in the UK, including the Isle of Wight
The installation of the world’s most powerful commercial turbine in Moray Firth means more local, clean energy jobs in Scotland and across the UK, including the most recent expansion of blade production at MHI Vestas on the Isle of Wight
A new blade mould arrives at the MHI Vestas factory on the Isle of Wight, bringing with it a forecast of 1,100 direct and indirect jobs in the region, as well as £42m million additional economic benefit per year.
MHI Vestas need hundreds of additional people to join them in the coming weeks to work on creating their V164 wind turbine. Just have a good attitude and willingness to learn and they say you'll get all the training you need.
MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, based on the Isle of Wight, have made a stunning announcement at the Global Wind Summit in Hamburg today (Tuesday), revealing the first win turbine in history with power rating of 10 MW.
At least 100 highly skilled engineer and technician jobs, as well as 150 supply chain roles are planned by GE in Southampton - rivaling Vestas on the Isle of Wight.
The project celebrates the Island based manufacturer's contribution to the UK economy, advances in offshore wind technology, and the rapidly falling cost of electricity from offshore wind.
