RNLI

A partnership helping to save lives at sea

Established in 2015, our partnership with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) previously focused on supporting seven individual lifeboat stations in areas where Ørsted operates its UK offshore windfarms and has evolved to support even more lifeboat stations.

The latest chapter of our long-running partnership focuses covers a total of 80 RNLI stations across the East, West and North of England, Wales and Isle of Man. Our support will allow these stations to bid for funding for projects the RNLI has identified as being of greatest need, ensuring that funds are used where they will be most impactful.

Orsted partnership with RNLI

Over the course of our partnership to date, we’re proud to have helped support regional activities at RNLI stations – helping to fund 1,831 launches and aided more than 3,395 people at sea.

To celebrate the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, here’s a showcase of Lucy. A dedicated member of our environment and consents team, Lucy has been a part of with the RNLI in New Brighton in the west coast for the past 8 years.

Proud to work within two sectors which give her a huge sense of purpose, Lucy says: "Not only am I lucky enough to help delivery green electrons to the energy mix, I'm also helping to save lives at sea."
