In terms of technological development, Vestas is taking its biggest step since 2010. Thursday at noon, the Danish turbine manufacturer launched its by-far largest onshore turbine to date, with three new turbine models with capacity of 4 to 4.2 MW.

Technically, the new turbines are a further development of the 3 MW platform, which was presented with the V112-3.0 turbine in the fall of 2009. It was upgraded in both 2012 and most recently to a V136-3.45 MW turbine in September 2015. But with the latest upgrade, Vestas is renaming the entire platform from 3MW to 4MW.
