Join our powerhouse for wind power technology
With some of the best wind conditions in the world, it is easy to understand how Denmark became a global hub for wind power technology. The wind power companies that move here join an impressive cluster that includes Ørsted, Vattenfall, Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, MHIVestas, Goldwind, Envision Energy and LM Wind Power.
Denmark’s reputation as a wind power pioneer is built on focused research and development, technology innovation, targeted market testing and highly efficient production. This ecosystem has benefited wind power companies for decades.
When you place your wind power activities in Denmark, you get access to:
- R&D collaboration with Danish universities.
- Attractive conditions for establishing a European headquarters.
- Technology development centres.
- Partnerships for market testing and demonstration projects.
- High-quality wind turbine components.
- Favourable framework conditions.
- Expert wind power engineers and new talent.
Collaborative wind power solutions
Denmark’s history as a ground-breaking wind power nation dates back to the 1970s. Since then, knowledge of design, engineering, testing and manufacturing has grown and grown. This all comes into play in our collaborative business environment.
Offshore and onshore developers, turbine manufacturers and suppliers, research institutions, engineering companies and test centres are all part of our innovative value chain. Together, they are making wind power more dependable and cost-efficient day by day.
Danish wind power in numbers
- Denmark-based companies supplied more than 20% of the world’s wind turbines in 2016.
- More than 80% of the world’s offshore wind turbines are either produced in Denmark or contain Danish components.
- Wind power meets 41% of Denmark’s current electricity needs. The goal is to meet 50% of Danish needs by 2020.
