develops, constructs and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, energy storage facilities and bioenergy plants.

The company describes itself as the world’ s largest developer of offshore wind power, responsible for around 30 % of global capacity outside of mainland China.

Previously one of the most coal intensive energy companies in Europe, Ørsted fully divested its fossil fuel assets by 2017 and has since focussed entirely on renewable energy, including projects like Hornsea 1 and 2 in the UK.

It has installed 10 GW of offshore wind and aims for this to reach between 20 and 22 GW by 2030.
