First kWh at Portugal’s largest wind farm Iberdrola’s Tâmega wind farm in northern Portugal has produced its first kilowatt-hour, marking an important milestone for the project. At a glance: • 274 MW onshore wind farm • 38 of our V172‑7.2 MW wind turbines • Expected annual production of approximately 600GWh, enough to power around 128,000 typical Portuguese households Installation activities are now progressing at Tâmega South, with full focus on completing the remaining scope. Tâmega highlights the scale, complexity and long‑term collaboration required to deliver landmark wind projects, and reflects Vestas’ role as a long‑term partner supporting customers like Iberdrola as we develop the energy systems of the future. Wind energy already generates more than 25% of Portugal’s electricity, and projects like Tâmega help increase the share of homegrown energy in Portugal while contributing to greater energy security, sustainability and affordability across the wider Iberian region.

Working our way toward zero-waste wind turbines. ♻️ Our blade circularity series continues. This time, we introduce the testbed at Stena Recycling A/S’ facility in Halmstad, Sweden. More than 500 tests have been completed, showing consistent separation of blade materials at scale. Currently, around 90% of a wind turbine can be recycled, although some components, particularly composite blade materials, remain challenging at end of life. We are seeing promising results as we break down the main blade materials and test how they perform after recycling. This helps us understand how the materials can be reused in new applications. 🔁 Together with Stena Recycling, we are finding practical uses for the recovered materials and moving closer to offering our customers zero-waste turbines. ICYMI: In the first episode, we took you behind the scenes of blade decommissioning, cutting and transport (👇link in comments).

Out now: our financial report for the first quarter of 2026. Our business performance improved year-on-year during continued geopolitical uncertainty. See key highlights below. We had an order intake of 4.5 GW, with backlog reaching a new high of EUR 36.3bn, driven by strong momentum in Offshore and Onshore. Revenue was up 14% year-on-year, with an EBIT margin of 3.2%, resulting in the highest first-quarter profitability since 2018. Our CEO, Henrik Andersen, says: “We’re pleased to have delivered a solid first quarter of 2026 amidst another global energy crisis and intensified geopolitical uncertainty. We continue to improve execution in our Onshore and Offshore businesses, and momentum continues in our order intake. I want to thank our customers, partners, and colleagues for their continued engagement and support in building secure, affordable, and sustainable energy systems.” Read the press release: https://brnw.ch/21x2e7W Join our investor audiocast: https://brnw.ch/21x2e7X

We’ve been named one of TIME’s 10 Most Influential Energy Companies of 2026 ⚡ Here are some of the ways we’re shaping the energy industry: 🟩 First company to install more than 200 GW of energy capacity worldwide. 🟩 Turbines installed in 88 countries, generating electricity that powers tens of millions of homes and helps avoid hundreds of millions of tonnes of carbon emissions each year. 🟩 Leading the industry towards fully recyclable wind turbine blades and low-emission steel towers. The role of wind energy has never been more critical at a time of ongoing disruption to fossil fuel supply chains. Every new wind farm strengthens energy security and moves us closer to true energy independence. Congratulations to all our colleagues who made this possible 👏 and to the other companies recognised alongside us. Read more: https://brnw.ch/21x26HM

Spot your risks. Take action 🔍👊 On World Safety Day, we’re focusing on what matters most in manufacturing, installing, and servicing wind energy: holding each other accountable to get the job done safely. We owe it to ourselves, our customers, partners, and colleagues to identify risks early and take action. That’s how we ensure wind energy is not only secure, affordable, and sustainable, but also safe for everyone involved. Across the wind industry, we encourage everyone to take a moment to evaluate their main risks, so we all get home safe.

Three projects. One year. One strong partnership. Forêt Domaniale marks our third project with EDF power solutions North America in Québec, highlighting what’s possible when world‑class technology meets proven supply‑chain expertise. We’re proud to partner with EDF on the 186 MW Forêt Domaniale wind project, supplying 28 EnVentus V162‑6.2 MW turbines and a 10‑year service agreement to support long‑term performance and reliability. This builds on the momentum from Madawaska (275 MW) and Haute‑Chaudière (124 MW), amounting to nearly 600 MW in Quebec alone. With Hydro-Québec targeting 10 GW of wind by 2035, momentum is accelerating. Partnerships like this are turning that ambition into reality, helping unlock large‑scale renewable development across the province. Québec-based Marmen Énergie will provide the towers, supporting 150 jobs and driving industrial growth in Matane. Read more: https://brnw.ch/21x1Ypi

Want to know the key to installing more than 200 GW of wind energy globally? A strong, collaborative, transparent and agile value chain. 🤝 Last week, we continued strengthening this value chain by bringing together key suppliers at our headquarters in Aarhus for our annual Supplier Forum and Supplier Engagement Week. At the Supplier Forum, we established a shared understanding: global demand for wind energy continues to grow, driven by the need for energy independence and more stable power prices. Building on this alignment, the rest of the week focused on constructive discussions and close collaboration with more than 60 suppliers in the room. Together, we mapped out how we can work more effectively to deliver on our commitments to customers, at scale and with speed. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped us move toward a more resilient and competitive global value chain. 🌍 #Vestas200GW

Join us at WindEurope to discuss how wind energy strengthens Europe’s energy security and competitiveness. During the oil crisis of the 1970s, Europe began exploring wind energy as a response to growing energy security concerns. Today, Europe’s energy system remains vulnerable to geopolitical shocks, but we have never been better positioned to scale homegrown wind energy. We now have more than 200 GW of wind capacity installed worldwide, including 95 GW in Europe, proving that wind energy is scalable and essential to reducing reliance on imported fuels and exposure to volatile energy prices. Hear from Henrik Andersen, Nils de Baar, Jose Luis Jimeno, and others as they share perspectives on how we can install more wind energy across Europe. See you in Madrid!
