Vestas to cease production at facility in León, Spain
The move was prompted by a decreasing demand for the 2 MW wind turbine platform in Europe.
Vestas intends to cease production at its assembly factory in León, Spain. The move was prompted by a decreasing demand for the 2 MW wind turbine platform in Europe. Meanwhile, demand for the 4 MW platform in the region can be met by less capacity than currently provided by nacelles factories in Europe and other regions where Vestas recently has established production capacity.
Spain remains a key market to Vestas with more than 4 GW of installed turbines.
