We are delighted to announce that our wooden wind turbine tower has been recognised by BBC News.
We have had the pleasure of introducing our wooden tower to Jonah Fisher, BBC environment correspondent. Jonah visited the site of installation and our tower. He took part of the technology with great enthusiasm, which has now resulted in a great fact-filled article, where he also invites other players in the industry to comment on the tower and its significance.
Being featured by a reputable news outlet like BBC is not just an accolade for us, it is also a powerful recognition of our tower and the achievements by everyone involved. We are enthusiastically looking forward, achieving even greater milestones, the positive impact of our wooden wind turbine tower is needed. Otto Lundman, CEO and Co-founder Modvion
The in-depth coverage on BBC News provides a unique spotlight on the importance of sustainability in the wind power industry and we are honored to have our story shared on such a globally renowned platform.
