What is
multibrand
service?
Multibrand service means the ability of
one service provider to maintain wind
turbines manufactured by different OEMs
(Original Equipment Manufacturers).

If your fleet consists of wind turbines from


more than one OEM, a multibrand service
provider can serve as one single partner
and one single point of contact to help
you maintain and repair your fleet and

Did you
know?
Vestas is the preferred
choice of fleet owners
when it comes to
servicing non-Vestas
wind turbines. And
we’re still expanding our
capabilities.

11
In it for
the long haul

As the sustainable energy market is maturing, Vestas is


committed not only to developing and installing wind
turbines, but also maximising the output of the installed
fleet of turbines by offering the best service available
across OEMs.

We are currently servicing approximately 15% of the


globally installed onshore wind capacity, which attests to
our ability to reach our vision of becoming the wind indu-
stry’s leading fleetwide and lifetime service partner.

As a part of achieving this ambition, we have added to


our existing, proven service capabilities by implementing
brand specific know-how from ISPs in the industry over the
years.

Adding depth and reach


With the acquisition of the two major ISPs UpWind Solu-
tions and Availon in late 2015 and early 2016, respec-
tively, Vestas has embarked on a journey to become the
world’s largest fleetwide service provider.

As of today, we service more than 8,5 GW of non-Vestas


turbines across five continents and 25 countries, ranging
across more than 30 different turbine platforms.

And the journey continues. We look forward to taking


you with us as your trusted long-term multibrand
service partner. Every step of the way.
