Ørsted is widely regarded as the company that first proved the commercial viability of large-scale offshore wind farms. It was not always a renewables giant, though. Having transformed itself from a fossil fuelfocused utility into a renewable energy leader, it now operates some of the world’ s most significant offshore wind arrays. Its pioneering role in project development, financing and construction continues to influence offshore markets across Europe, Asia and North America.
