Stories from the front line of the green energy transition

Ørsted is helping speed up the global green energy transition, putting us at the forefront of the drive to deliver sustainable renewable energy solutions. Our projects across Europe, North America and Asia are helping countries and companies realise their ambitious renewable energy and net-zero emission targets. 

Our projects go further – from regenerating communities and promoting economic growth to supply chain development and creating local jobs. Our renewable energy solutions are helping to unlock opportunities that will benefit the communities in which we operate while supporting the UK’s 2050 net-zero ambitions.

See a selection of stories about the people and innovations on the front lines of the global green energy transition.
