Ørsted

Ørsted is a Danish multinational energy company and a global leader in developing, constructing, and operating offshore wind farms. Headquartered in Fredericia, it has more than 30 years of offshore wind experience, having built the world’s first offshore wind farm in 1991. The company’s core strength is end‑to‑end offshore wind delivery, from development and engineering through construction and long‑term operations and maintenance. Ørsted has 10.2 GW of installed offshore wind capacity and a further 8.1 GW under construction, with a core market focus in Europe and an expanding footprint in North America and the Asia‑Pacific region. Flagship projects include the Hornsea zone in the UK, Greater Changhua offshore wind farms in Taiwan, and multiple projects in the US such as South Fork, Revolution Wind, and Sunrise Wind, often developed in partnership with infrastructure investors. Beyond offshore wind, Ørsted owns and operates onshore wind farms, large‑scale solar PV and battery storage assets, bioenergy plants, and conducts energy trading. Its total installed renewable energy capacity exceeds 18 GW across Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America, and it is also active in emerging areas such as renewable hydrogen and power‑to‑X. The company uses farm‑down divestments and partnerships to recycle capital, as seen in transactions with Cathay Life Insurance, Apollo funds, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. Ørsted is widely recognised as a sustainability leader, ranked for multiple years on Corporate Knights’ Global 100 list, and is guided by a vision of creating a world that runs entirely on green energy. It employs approximately 8,000 people, is listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen under the name Orsted, and in 2025 reported operating profit of DKK 25.1 billion excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees.
