The fact that we have a strong technical team, which is capable of providing thorough, comprehensive and expert assistance to our customers, is a decisive factor for a successful cooperation with our partners.” As of 31 December 2009, Vestas had an accumulated installed capacity of more than 2,000 MW in China, which makes Vestas one of the largest players in the Chinese wind energy market.
