- Vestas Wind Systems secured a new order to supply turbines for the Kapuni Wind Farm in New Zealand.
- The project will pair wind generation with green hydrogen production, targeting decarbonisation across multiple industries.
- The agreement includes a long term service component, extending Vestas’ role beyond equipment supply.
For investors watching CPSE:VWS, this contract links Vestas directly to green hydrogen, a segment many see as an important complement to renewables. The company’s shares trade at DKK164.7, with a 1 year return of 56.7% and a 3 year and 5 year return showing declines of 22.2% and 35.8% respectively. This means the stock has seen a mix of strong shorter term performance and weaker longer term results.
This New Zealand project also broadens Vestas’ footprint in the Asia Pacific region, which some investors may view as helpful for diversifying its revenue base by geography and technology. The long term service agreement could give the company more stable revenue visibility, while the link to green hydrogen may be watched as a reference point for similar projects elsewhere.

Key Considerations
- 📊 The New Zealand green hydrogen project ties Vestas to a new use case for wind power, which some investors may see as broadening its revenue opportunities.
- 📊 Watch how this and similar service backed projects affect revenue mix, margins versus the Electrical industry average margin of 5.5% and the company’s 4.1% net margin.
- ⚠️ The 11.5% 30 day share price decline shows sentiment can swing quickly, so contract news may not translate into short term share price support.
