Abstract
Wind energy technologies have gained a tremendous interest worldwide to mitigate the environmental impacts related to power generation. In this study, we assess on-shore and off-shore by tracing all of the economy-wide supply chain requirements of wind power plants. The wind turbines consist of two onshore (V80-2.0 MW and V90-3.0 MW) and two offshore (V80-2.0 MW and V90-3.0 MW) turbines, all manufactured by the Vestas Wind Systems A/S.
