Felix Henseler, Vestas Chief Technology and Operations Officer, commented:
- Strengthening our manufacturing capacity is key to meeting Europe’s demand for safe, affordable, and sustainable energy, while increasing our industrial competitiveness. Adding the Goleniów facility demonstrates our commitment to the wind industry and shows how Europe can drive investments and jobs through long-term policy support for wind energy.
Hanif Mashal, President of LM Wind Power, added:
