Service

 

Optimal maintenance of the wind turbines must be guaranteed. After all maximum productivity of each individual turbine is important for the economics of the whole wind park.

The turbine manufacturer offers a customer service package in which maintenance work on the wind park is supervised. Vestas obligates to have a service team at the site within 48 hours after notice of a defect.
