ReWind is a spin out from the world's leading renewable energy advisory and assurance provider Det Norske Veritas (DNV). ReWind began in 2021 with a mission to ensure that no more wind turbine blades end up in landfill, and to ensure the continued success and acceleration of wind farm development. Wind is often seen as one of the greenest forms of energy and we are on a mission to keep it that way.
Decommissioning and repowering are the largest issues the wind industry faces today with an exponential increase in the number of wind turbines coming off line year on year.
The ReWind team possess deep technical backgrounds in wind farm development operations and are uniquely positioned to solve this challenge facing the industry.
Did you know?
Europe needs to double its wind energy capacity by 2030 to meet its climate and energy security goals. By 2050, wind will provide almost 50% of on-grid electricity in Europe, and 40% in the Americas.
DNV Energy Outlook
14 GW of Europe’s existing wind farms have already been running for more than 20 years and 78 GW will have been by 2030.

Repowering is a win-win game. The oldest wind farms are usually on the best wind sites but have the least efficient turbines. With new wind turbines, you can increase the power output with 300% and 25% fewer turbines.

90% of a wind turbine is already fully recyclable. 25 thousand tonnes of wind turbine blades will have to be recycled by 2025, and 52 thousand tonnes by 2030.
