in  favour of longer term funding at attractive terms," says Marika Fredriksson,
Executive  Vice President and  CFO of Vestas.  "The bond is  the first corporate
green  bond, issued by  a company dedicated  exclusively to wind  energy, and it
underlines Vestas' strong position as a leader in the renewables industry."

The  Bonds will be issued  on 11 March 2015 with a  coupon of 2.75 per cent. The
Bonds will be repaid on 11 March 2022.

and admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market with

The Bonds are issued to diversify Vestas' funding base and to extend the average
debt  maturity profile of Vestas. The net  proceeds of the issue will be applied
by the Vestas Group for general financing and general corporate purposes.

The Bonds were placed by Citigroup Global Markets Limited, HSBC Bank plc, Nordea
Bank  Danmark A/S and  Société Générale Corporate  & Investment Banking as joint
lead  managers and bookrunners, and DNB Markets and UniCredit Bank as joint lead
managers (no books).
