Onshore Wind sustaining global leadership to increase renewable penetration – Onshore wind energy is the backbone of the future sustainable energy system. Due to its highly competitive cost and independence, onshore wind offers affordable electricity, which is key to building sustainable and prosperous societies. By displacing hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO2 equivalents each year, and with clear targets for zero-waste turbines and carbon neutrality, onshore wind energy will soon become fully sustainable. Vestas remains the global leader in onshore wind with 164 GW of installed capacity and aims to continue its leadership by maturing the industry through timely and customer-centric technology introductions, strengthening commercial discipline, and capturing the true value of onshore wind energy solutions and services. • Offshore wind: becoming a global leader in a high-growth industry segment – In the last five years, offshore wind has experienced a meteoric rise. From a distant opportunity, it is now a key part of the Group's energy systems from 2025 and beyond. The growing strategic importance of offshore wind paved the way for the Group's re-entry into the segment in 2020. Since then, the Group has seen offshore wind continue to occupy a central role in the energy transition, in particular creating new opportunities within floating wind energy solutions, Power-to-X, and sustainability such as through electric service vessels and marine biodiversity. • Service: providing resilience and stability in a fluctuating environment – Vestas is the global leader in wind energy service solutions, with more than 144 GW under service, equivalent to almost 56,000 turbines. Growing and developing Vestas' service business will strengthen the stability and integration of renewables within the energy system. This will be increasingly important as the penetration of renewables grows, providing predictable and high-margin business for Vestas. Vestas' size and scale remain a key differentiator to provide customer-centric solutions and improve efficiency and profitability. The continued expansion and simplification of Vestas' service business remains paramount to releasing its full potential in this area. The growth of the Group's service business also remains closely connected to annual new capacity volumes, while providing opportunities within sustainability, digitalisation, and online commerce as Vestas strives to make its operations more efficient and carbon neutral by 2030.
