GLOBAL COMPANIES HAVE SUSPENDED THEIR ACTIVITIES IN RUSSIA

The Ukrainian Wind Energy Association expresses its gratitude to the UWEA member companies that have decided to suspend all current and planned activities in russia in response to the aggressive war waged by putin’s regime.

Below are statements made by

Vestas:

«Vestas condemns the russian government’s invasion of Ukraine. We worry about the well-being of our many colleagues, customers and business partners in the besieged country. As a result of the invasion, Vestas’ manufacturing, transportation, construction and service operations in Ukraine and russia have been severely disrupted. The existence of this violent conflict is inexcusable and untenable.

In light of the ongoing and indefensible war initiated by the russian government, Vestas will stop any new commercial activity in russia until further notice».

In addition,  Vestas plans to halt wind projects in russia. The four renewable projects have been in development since September last year and have a combined capacity of 253MW.
