Sunrise Wind
Three of the four developers building wind farms in U.S. waters are challenging the Trump administration’s Dec. 22 order suspending all such construction.
An announcement by the U.S. Department of Interior said the Department of Defense had identified wind farms as national security risks and is pausing offshore wind leases.
Ørsted reported a net loss for the third quarter, attributed to the continuing financial challenges for its U.S. offshore wind portfolio, but it also said those projects are progressing well toward completion.
New York City could be short as much as 650 MW in capacity in the summer of 2026, according to NYISO’s Short Term Assessment of Reliability for the third quarter.
Ørsted will reduce its workforce roughly 25% through the end of 2027 as it wraps up construction of offshore wind farms and remakes itself as a more competitive company.
Ørsted is moving to raise as much as $9.33 billion on its own to finish building the Sunrise Wind project off the New York coast.
Ørsted is pushing ahead with two U.S. offshore wind projects amid potential policy threats but halting development of a much larger U.K. proposal due to rising costs.
Conference attendees are optimistic that the rapidly rising demand for energy will mean the federal government eventually will have to harness wind power.
Three companies closely involved in offshore wind power development offered a glum assessment of the sector’s prospects in the U.S.
Ørsted CEO Mads Nipper has been replaced by Deputy CEO Rasmus Errboe.
