Used & Refurbished Wind Turbines for Sale
Used and refurbished wind turbines are pre-owned units that have been inspected, repaired, and recertified for redeployment to secondary market projects, repowering installations, and off-grid renewable applications. The Vestas refurbished turbine programme covers ten model platforms: V52 (850 kW), V80 (2.0 MW), V90 (2.0 to 3.0 MW), V100 (1.8 to 2.6 MW), V110 (2.0 MW), V112 (3.0 MW), V117 (3.3 to 4.2 MW), V126 (3.3 MW), V136 (3.45 to 4.5 MW), and V150 (4.2 to 6.0 MW).
The Vestas 2 MW platform (V80, V90, and V100 variants) has demonstrated an average Lost Production Factor of 1.8 percent across the installed fleet, with proven serviceability over more than a decade of commercial operation. Used Vestas units are also available through the active secondary market in Europe, where dismantling timelines for repowering projects typically run 12 to 24 months ahead. USP&E sources used and refurbished wind turbines for secondary market buyers, repowering, and off-grid renewable projects. Click Fast Quote for a response within hours.
The Secondary Market for Wind Turbines
The secondary market for used wind turbines exists because European and North American operators routinely repower older sites with larger modern turbines, releasing serviceable V52, V80, V90, and similar units that retain significant remaining design life. Common applications for these released units include corporate off-grid power purchase agreements, mining site hybridisation with diesel and battery storage, and grid projects in markets where new OEM turbine capacity cannot be delivered within the project window.

What happens in a wind turbine refurbishment?
A typical wind turbine refurbishment scope includes gearbox overhaul or replacement, generator testing and bearing replacement, blade inspection and structural repairs, tower inspection, control system updates, and full electrical testing. The Vestas refurbished programme additionally provides containerised transport solutions for legacy models to reduce transportation costs to remote sites, and uses standard servicing tools available across the wind industry. A condition report is produced documenting remaining design life and any replaced components.
