E.on is expanding its business within the service of wind turbines. The German energy company will henceforth include the UK and Italy in its work operating and maintaining wind farms, which was launched in 2015 with its entry into the US and Swedish markets. Recently, E.on established itself in January on its home market of Germany as well.
