About us

Secure green energy solutions for the Isle of Man

Ørsted is a renewable energy company that takes tangible action to create a world that runs entirely on green energy.

We recognise that to protect our shared home from the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, we need to become better at powering it with green energy.

That’s why we’re working with the Isle of Man Government to support its ambitious renewable energy and net-zero emission targets.

We are working with the Government to develop the Isle of Man’s first offshore wind farm and this project has the potential to deliver the long-term benefits of the green transition through economic investment, skills training, and long-term job opportunities.

A global green energy leader

Our international headquarters are in Denmark, the country where we built the world’s first offshore wind farm in 1991. Since then, we’ve gone through our own green transformation. We’ve gone from being one of the most fossil-fuel intensive energy companies in Europe, to being a renewable energy leader and ranked one of the world’s most sustainable energy companies by Corporate Knight’s Global 100 index of the world’s most sustainable corporations.

Be inspired. We share our green energy transformation

Learn about our transformation

Ørsted is the global leader in developing, constructing, and operating offshore wind farms. We have more than 30 years of experience in this field, having built the world’s first offshore wind farm. Today, we have an installed offshore wind capacity of 10.2 GW¹ and 8.1 GW² under construction.

Our core markets are in Europe, while our global footprint includes North America and the Asia-Pacific region. We provide countries, companies, and communities with reliable, sustainable, cost-effective energy solutions to help meet the rising global demand for electricity and energy security.

In addition to offshore wind, we own and operate onshore wind, solar, energy storage, and bioenergy assets, and also generate revenue by trading energy.

Ørsted has 12 operational offshore wind farms in the UK, with an installed capacity of 5.7 GW – enough green energy to power almost 6 UK million homes. This includes eight offshore wind farm projects located in the Irish Sea between the UK and the Isle of Man. It’s newest array, Hornsea 2 off the coast of Yorkshire, is the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

^—^{1 Installed Capacity for the group means renewable capacity accumulated over time for which commercial operation date (COD) has been achieved, and where the group has or has had an ownership share and an EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) role in the project, disregarding whether such capacity has subsequently been di-vested, in full or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions are not fulfilled, renewable capacities from acquisitions are also added to the installed capacity.

2 Capacity under Construction for the group means renewable capacity under construction where a final investment decision (FID) has been made and where the group has or has had an ownership share and an EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) role in the project, disregarding whether such capacity was originally or has subsequently been divested, in full or in part.}
