Orsted's Strategic Shift: Navigating Turbulent Waters in Offshore Wind Industry

Orsted's revised business plan reflects a "value-focused" approach, potentially leading to the removal of less mature or slow-moving offshore wind markets from its investment portfolio, with floating wind ambitions in Norway, Spain, and Portugal being the first to be affected. The company's decision comes after facing significant costs and impairments from US offshore projects, particularly the Ocean Wind 1 project, prompting a reevaluation of its investment strategy in the sector.
