Vestas Secures Major 660 MW Offshore Wind Order in EMEA

Vestas has secured a 660 MW offshore wind order in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, marking one of the largest additions to the company's fourth-quarter 2025 order book. 

The deal highlights sustained procurement momentum in offshore wind despite ongoing cost pressures from inflation and supply-chain issues. While the customer, project location, turbine model, and service terms remain undisclosed, the order includes a service agreement and underscores Vestas' competitive edge in the sector.​

Order Specifics

The 660 MW contract covers offshore capacity set for inclusion in Vestas' Q4 2025 order intake, with delivery and commissioning timelines not yet revealed. Details on the contract duration, technology platform, or exact service scope were withheld, aligning with standard practices for projects pending regulatory and financing approvals. This substantial volume bolsters Vestas' year-end bookings as markets stabilize post-2023–2024 disruptions.​

Sector Recovery Trends

Offshore wind in EMEA shows signs of rebound after project cancellations and renegotiations driven by high inflation, supply bottlenecks, and subdued power prices. Developers are re-entering the market as governments revise auction designs and offtake agreements to account for elevated capital costs. The unnamed order reflects this shift, with OEMs like Vestas navigating margin pressures while capitalizing on renewed demand.​

The wind turbine supplier, Vestas, boasts over 197 GW installed globally and a service fleet surpassing 159 GW. For the company, offshore wind forms a key growth area amid Europe's drive toward stricter 2030 renewable targets. 

Wind turbine manufacturers installed 127 GW of new wind power capacity in 2024, according to GWEC’s annual Supply Side Data report. The data from GWEC’s Market Intelligence team found that 29 different wind turbine suppliers mechanically installed 23,098 units last year despite the challenging macroeconomic pressures, rising commodity and capital costs, and prolonged supply chain disruptions.
