Deutsche Windtechnik expands operations across Belgium

Wind Energy – Belgium

Deutsche Windtechnik has announced the establishment of its latest entity, Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium, formally based in Hasselt.

The move marks the beginning of a shift in Belgium’s wind energy landscape, introducing choice and flexibility to wind park operators.

With the establishment of the Deutsche Windtechnik entity in Belgium, the company’s entry into the Belgian market introduces O&M independence from manufacturers for wind turbine operators.

Geert Timmers, Managing Director of Deutsche Windtechnik’s Netherlands location, will oversee the operations of the new unit. He said: “We are very happy to offer our independent service in the Belgian market. Up till now, turbine manufacturers have dominated the service market in Belgium. Deutsche Windtechnik’s flexible range of services will open the Belgian market. And this will benefit Belgian operators, who finally have a real choice regarding their service provider.”

Independence from manufacturers will simplify the maintenance of wind farms with different technologies and stimulate competition. 

Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium is launching its operations with a substantial full-maintenance contract for fifteen Vestas V80 wind turbines across multiple Belgian locations.

The scope of services includes remote data monitoring and troubleshooting, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of turbines.

Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium will initially focus on onshore maintenance in Belgium, but already received initial inquiries for offshore service.
