SINGAPORE, March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/

In early March 2023, Vestas held the first annual meeting of Vestas Japan

Certified Service Providers (VJCSP).

Vestas Japan has service technicians stationed at 12 site offices nationwide

and provides operation and maintenance (O&M) services for a total of 461 MW

wind turbines. Currently, new projects under construction amount to 632MW, for

many of which we will provide O&M services for up to 20 years, upon

commencement of commercial operation. If we look at the situation of existing

wind farms in Japan, the number of wind turbines that have been installed for

more than 10 years is increasing, and the necessity of maintenance is also

expected to increase.

In line with the expansion of the service business, Vestas has been expanding

our service team and developing our technicians, and at the same time, has

established the Vestas Japan Certified Service Providers System, under which we

have started collaboration with external service providers that ensure the same

level of service quality as Vestas. Vestas Japan Certified Service Providers

shall meet the criteria required for our service business partners and will

provide maintenance services for wind turbines while guaranteeing the same

service quality as Vestas.

The three companies registered as Vestas Japan Certified Service Providers,

Tokyo Power Technology Ltd. (Koto-ku, Tokyo), JRE Operations Corporation

(Minato-ku, Tokyo), and Moriyama Diesel Co., Ltd. (Aomori-shi, Aomori

Prefecture), participated in the first VJCSP annual meeting, and discussed the

projected growth of the wind turbine maintenance market in the future, how they

will collaborate with Vestas service team, and service technician's required

skill levels and training plans.

Vestas' service business is built on a strong, global foundation, combining

operational data from more than 49,000 monitored turbines with technical

experience from over 10,000 service technicians and a supply chain of more than

1,200 suppliers worldwide. This enables Vestas to provide services that

minimise O&M costs and cater for local needs. Vestas will continue to respond

to the increasing demand for O&M services in Japan and contribute to the

efficient operation of customers' wind farms by building an effective service

provision system through collaboration with our partners.
