Vestas is now taking the consequences of the falling demand for onshore wind turbines and increasing demand for offshore wind turbines. According to MarketWire, the company is cutting 200 jobs at the factory in Ringkøbing, which mainly produces onshore wind turbines.
In return, the plan is to expand the workforce by 300 employees at the factories in Lem, Nakskov and Lindø during 2024.
- In order to meet the demand for offshore wind in the markets around Denmark, we will therefore increase our overall activity and employee level in our production in Denmark.
- At the same time, we continue to see very limited demand for onshore wind projects in Denmark, and we are therefore moving parts of our onshore wind production in Ringkøbing to other factories closer to the installations themselves, says Johnny Høy Henriksen, Chief Operating Officer for Vestas in Northern and Central Europe.
Vestas employs more than 6,000 people in Denmark. The 600 are employed at the factory in Ringkøbing.
