Orsted A/S
Ørsted is a Danish energy company best known for building and running offshore wind farms. It develops large wind projects, owns many of them after construction, and sells the power they produce to utilities, governments, businesses, and grid operators. It also has a smaller business in onshore wind, solar power, battery storage, and some bioenergy assets, but wind power is the core of the company. The company makes money mainly by selling electricity and by signing long-term contracts that lock in buyers for future power output. In practice, Ørsted finds sites, wins permits, arranges financing, builds the project, and then either keeps the plant and earns steady cash from electricity sales or sometimes sells a stake in the project to other investors. That makes it part developer, part owner-operator, and part energy supplier. Ørsted sits in the middle of the clean-energy value chain, where the hard work is not just generating power but also securing locations, permits, grid connections, and long-term buyers. Its customers are mostly large institutions rather than households, which gives the business a more project-based and contract-driven feel than a typical utility. The company’s role is unusual because it turns complex offshore construction into long-lived power assets that produce electricity for many years.

EBITDA: Ørsted reported Q1 EBITDA, excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees, of DKK 9.5 billion, up more than 10% year over year, helped by stronger offshore wind generation and slightly higher-than-normal wind speeds.
Guidance: The company kept full-year 2026 EBITDA guidance at more than DKK 28 billion and gross investment guidance at DKK 50 billion to DKK 55 billion.
Construction: Major offshore projects continued to advance, with first power at Revolution Wind, first turbines installed at Sunrise Wind, and Baltica 2, Greater Changhua 2b and 4, and Hornsea 3 all moving forward.
Hornsea 3: Ørsted said a grid connection delay from National Grid will push first power to Q1 2027, with commissioning now expected in the Q4 2027 to Q1 2028 window; management said the financial impact should be minor.
Balance Sheet: Net debt ended Q1 at DKK 21.3 billion, while FFO to adjusted net debt was about 42%, comfortably above the company’s target of more than 30%.
Policy Tailwinds: Management was upbeat on Europe’s push toward electrification, stronger offshore wind policy frameworks, and the North Sea build-out ambitions, saying predictability and grid investment are key.
U.S. Risk: On the U.S. side, management said construction at Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind is progressing as planned despite regulatory uncertainty, and it has begun tax equity monetization on Revolution Wind.
