The Vindeby offshore wind farm, developed by Elkraft and completed in 1991, represented a pivotal moment in renewable energy. It featured 11 turbines from Bonus Energy, adapted for offshore use, and blades manufactured by LM Wind Power.

The construction was realized in collaboration with SEAS over a span of 11 days, achieving a nameplate capacity of 4.95 MW. This project laid the foundation for the offshore wind sector, which reached a global capacity of 83 GW by June 2025. Offshore installations benefit from higher wind speeds, reduced visual impact, and lower noise pollution compared to onshore facilities.
