V82 - creating more from less
 

 
Vestas has made a concerted effort to design a wind turbine that exploits low winds to the maximum in the 1.5 MW class. The V82 makes wind power profitable in regions where it otherwise would not pay and distinguishes itself by excellent grid compatibility and low sound levels.
