Building Up
Wind Power
At the LEGO Group, we want to make a positive impact
on the world around us. We have committed to making
all LEGO® bricks using sustainable materials by 2030
via our Planet Promise, our roadmap to achieving our
sustainability goals. Through investments in wind power
we have achieved our ambition to balance 100% of the
energy we use to make LEGO bricks with energy from
renewable sources.

This is why the launch of this wind turbine model is very

important to us. Developed in close collaboration with
Vestas, the global front-runner in sustainable wind en-
ergy, this is also the first Creator Expert model to include
LEGO elements from sustainably sourced, plant-based
plastic.

So we like to think that this LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine

is a small tribute to the innovators of the past and the
builders of tomorrow. It’s a desktop-sized representation
of not only Vestas’ technological innovation, but also of
the power and potential of sustainability, commitment
and collaboration.

In this booklet, we’ve included some facts about wind

energy and our LEGO initiatives focused on sustainability.
Find out more about our sustainability commitment at
LEGO.com/responsibility-story.

We hope you enjoy building this model as much as we

have enjoyed developing it!

Pioneering
Sustainable Energy
In the late 1970s during what’s now known as the second
oil crisis, a small number of engineers were hard at work
in a little factory in Western Jutland. The work was car-
ried out in secret, not because they knew their work
would change how the world was powered in the future,
but because very few believed in their idea. That idea,
to harness the power of the wind to produce sustainable
energy, was in fact very far from the primary product of
their company, Vestas, at the time: kitchen appliances
and agricultural machinery.
But the engineers were persistent, and through imagination,
experimentation, commitment and collaboration, they
and Vestas endeavoured to make their unbelievable idea
believable. And so, after several failed attempts, Vestas
installed its first wind turbine in 1979 based on the three-
bladed design that today still dominates wind energy
and is referred to as “the Danish concept”.
Since then, both Vestas and wind energy have evolved
tremendously together. While Vestas’ first wind turbine had
a rotor diameter of 32 ft. (10m) and a capacity of 30 kW,
today’s turbines are several hundred times more powerful,
with rotors of more than 492 ft. (150m) in diameter. During
this time, wind turbines have gone from being an experi-
ment in a windy part of Denmark to becoming the cheap-
est source of electricity in markets all over the world.
Today, Vestas and wind energy have changed the global
energy landscape, and as the leader within sustainable
energy, Vestas has pioneered wind energy in all parts
of the world. Wind energy and other sustainable energy
sources are overtaking traditional energy sources, and
Vestas continues to develop the solutions that will ensure
a healthy world for future generations. The journey has just
begun, and the imagination, experimentation, collaboration
and commitment to the unbelievable that brought the
first wind turbines to life, continues to drive Vestas and
sustainable energy forward.
About Vestas
Founded in Denmark in the late 19th century,
Vestas drives the green transition forward as the
world leader in sustainable energy solutions. We
design, manufacture, install, and service wind
turbines on six continents and have pioneered
wind energy in more countries than anyone else.
Today, wind energy powers 170 million homes, and
as the world continues the transition to sustainable
energy, Vestas leads innovation that combines
wind energy with other energy sources to ensure
a clean, stable energy supply for everyone.

Why Wind Power?
Tomorrow’s energy needs are foreseeable and they will
impact all aspects of life. But as energy consumption
soars, how will we meet this demand? Fossil fuels are a
finite resource that will gradually disappear. The natural
replacement is sweeping freely around the Earth. Wind.
It’s renewable, predictable, fast to install, clean and cheap.
A wind turbine produces energy, pure and simple, and
is already today the cheapest source of energy in many
countries. And unlike oil, natural gas and other non-
renewable materials, the price of wind is predictable,
stable, and free in every currency.
Wind energy produces no CO2, no other greenhouse
gases and doesn’t consume water, a scarce resource in
itself. In fact, a wind turbine can generate 25 to 50 times
more energy than it uses in its entire lifecycle, and it is
only responsible for emission of around one percent of
CO2 compared to a conventional coal power plant.
Wind knows no limits, nor does it recognize national
boundaries. It’s an unlimited form of energy, and it’s found
freely in countries with even the poorest natural resources.
Wherever it blows, it can bring jobs to support the local
economy while lowering dependence on energy imports.

 How does it all work?
Wind Energy Basics
Like all other weather and climate occurrences on the planet,
wind stems from the sun. When the sun unevenly heats the
irregular surface of the Earth’s atmosphere as it rotates, wind
is created. The motion energy caused by the movement
of air over the Earth’s terrain is called wind flow.
Wind power uses the Earth’s atmosphere’s natural
airflows to produce electricity. To do so, the wind turbine
blades capture the wind’s kinetic energy, which makes
the rotor spin, creating mechanical energy. The rotor
turns an internal shaft, which is connected to the gearbox,
which again changes the rotations from low-speed to
high-speed. The high-speed shaft is connected to the
generator, which creates electricity.

Each wind turbine is designed for different wind
conditions, and wind turbines are carefully positioned
based on numerous factors such as average wind
speeds, landscape and turbulence. By choosing the
right location and the right turbine for each site, wind
turbines harness energy in the most efficient way.
Once generated by the wind turbine, the electricity is
transmitted through underground cables called the
transmission line to a grid substation where the voltage
is adapted and connected to the grid. From there, the
electricity travels through cables into our homes.

Plants from Plants
The Vestas Wind Turbine features LEGO® tree elements
made from plant-based plastic. Moving forward, LEGO
botanical elements such as leaves, bushes and trees
will all be made from this plant-based plastic, as part of
our commitment to using sustainable materials in core
products by 2030 and in packaging by 2025.

These new LEGO plant-based elements are derived from
sugarcane. The material is identical to the plastic used in
older bricks, but is produced from sustainable sources.
As always, any two LEGO bricks can fit together – even if
they are made from different materials, decades apart.

 LEGO® Planet Promise

– Making It Real
As part of our mission, we have made a Planet Promise,
built on the idea of leaving a positive impact on the
world and future generations. Our biggest contribution
to society is to inspire learning through play and help
children realize their full potential. We strive to do so
while safeguarding natural resources and minimizing our
environmental impact.
To achieve this, we:
• Work to reduce CO2 emissions in our operations and
supply chain
• Invest in renewable energy and sustainable materials
• Work to reduce and recycle waste, and
• Inspire children to imagine sustainable solutions to
important environmental challenges.

Wind Power Propels the LEGO Group

In 2017, we achieved our ambition to balance 100% of The total energy output from investments in renewables
the energy we used to make LEGO® bricks with energy is now greater than the energy consumed at all LEGO
from renewable sources, three years ahead of schedule. factories, stores and offices.
Since 2012, the LEGO Group’s parent company, KIRKBI A/S,
has invested in the development of more than 160 mega-
watts of renewable energy generation, including wind
farms in Germany and the UK.
