Abstract

The present invention relates to a windmill, comprising a generator house (12) with a generator and a plurality of rotor blades (13) at an upper part of an upright shaft (11), characterized by said shaft (11) comprising at least one telescopic joint for altering the height of said windmill, and further comprising a pivotal connection (14) of the blades (13) between a substantially vertical and a substantially horizontal position. The invention also relates to a method of installation, intervention or decommissioning of said windmill. The invention can be applied to fixed, bottom mounted offshore windmills or onshore windmills.
