The Danish company has announced plans for the construction of a 15-megawatt offshore wind turbine. The project should start in 2024 and the turbine should be able to generate roughly 80 gigawatt hours per year. This would be enough to power approximately 20,000 European households, saving over 38,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide in the process. Vestas is the latest company to push forward with the development of a sizeable offshore wind turbine.
