Onshore wind

As a global leader in offshore wind right here in the UK, we’re continuing our green transformation journey by expanding into onshore wind energy. Ørsted partners with industry leaders to deliver cost-effective and environmentally sound onshore solutions that meet the growing demand for clean, renewable power. We currently have 4 GW of onshore wind assets in operation and under construction in the U.S. and Europe, providing green energy to thousands of homes while boosting local economies.

Benefits of onshore wind

The communities in which we operate will play an important role in helping us realise our vision of a world that runs entirely on green energy and we want to have a positive impact on those local communities. Onshore wind power will be a driver in a green recovery helping to boost economies and develop competitive, export-orientated local supply chains. Onshore wind will also generate sustainable, highly-skilled green jobs while supporting a just transition that will help transform communities as seen in the construction and operation of our offshore wind farms.

Watch the video below to find out how the offshore wind industry is helping transform Grimsby through sustainable, green growth.

The future of onshore wind

The future looks bright for onshore wind. Thanks to new technologies and increasing demand, solar and wind power are cheaper than fossil-fuel power in two thirds of the world.

By 2030, we aim to have 11-13 GW of onshore wind, solar, and storage capacity across our markets.
