Randers, 1 October 2008                                                        
Company announcement No. 42/2008                                               

                                                                                
Vestas to move its headquarters to Aarhus, Denmark in 2011                      

To get more space and to gather more activities at the same location, Vestas has
decided to move its headquarters from Randers to Aarhus, Denmark in 2011. Vestas
is of the opinion that Aarhus can offer the company the facilities needed to    
attract and maintain the right Danish and foreign employees. The new            
headquarters will be established next to Vestas Technology R&D's new development
centre in Aarhus, where Vestas has bought a site of approx 73,800 m2.           

The functions which will move to Aarhus are Executive Management, Group Finance 
& Operations, Group Treasury, Group Communications and Contract Review. These   
functions today employ more than 250 people.                                    

The relocation will at the same time make it possible for Vestas Offshore,      
Vestas People & Culture and Vestas' global IT function to continue their        
expansions in Randers. These functions today employ a total of approx 600 people
in Randers.                                                                     

To move the registered office of the company does, however, require an amendment
to the Articles of Association, and the change will be recommended for approval 
at Vestas' Annual General Meeting.                                              

The above does not affect the Vestas Group's expectations for 2008, cf. Company 
announcement No. 40/2008 of 15 August 2008.
