As part of its commitment to the U.K. wind market and presence on the Isle of Wight, located off the south coast of England, Vestas is relocating its testing-related activities at West Medina Mills to the nearby St. Cross facility on the Isle of Wight to make room for future expansion under consideration by MHI Vestas Offshore Wind.
“With Vestas moving their blade, bearing and material testing to St. Cross, we are now considering how MHI Vestas can take full advantage of the West Medina Mills facility for offshore blade production,” explains James Luter, MHI Vestas’ director of blade production.
The relocation work is beginning this week. Some Vestas staff will remain at West Medina Mills. Vestas currently employs 130 people at the Isle of Wight.
