Ørsted has revised commissioning timelines for Hornsea 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 due to grid operator delays and outages in the UK and Germany.

Ørsted reported higher offshore EBITDA in Q1 2026 as it advanced offshore wind projects in the US, Europe, and Taiwan while maintaining full-year guidance.

Smulders transports first secondary steel sets for Hornsea 3 to Port of Tyne, marking a key step before offshore installation in the UK.

Excerpt
Sunrise Wind has installed its first turbine offshore New York, keeping the 924 MW project on track for first power later this year and full operations in 2027.

The UK Supreme Court ruled against Ørsted in its dispute with HMRC, finding that survey and study costs linked to offshore wind development cannot be claimed as capital allowances, while the developer said the decision weakens conditions for future infrastructure investment.

Ørsted has completed installation of the first offshore converter station for Hornsea 3 in the UK. The structure, built in Thailand and commissioned in Norway, is now in place offshore.

Hornsea 3 foundation installation is due to start in April as Cadeler’s Wind Ally and Wind Orca and the SOV Esvagt Froude mobilise from Dutch and UK ports for the next phase of Ørsted’s offshore wind project.

All five US offshore wind farms halted by federal stop-work orders dated 22 December 2025 have resumed construction after court injunctions, with Sunrise Wind the final project cleared to restart.

Ørsted ranks 9th in Corporate Knights’ Global 100, citing 91% revenue and 99% investments classified sustainable in 2024, plus major scope 1–2 intensity cuts versus 2006.
