Ørsted A/S (OTCMKTS:DNNGY) is a Danish multinational energy company focused on the development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects. Headquartered in Fredericia, Denmark, Ørsted has evolved into a global leader in offshore wind power and is actively expanding its portfolio to include onshore wind, solar farms, energy storage solutions and bioenergy. The company’s strategic vision emphasizes sustainability and carbon reduction, aligning its business activities with the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
Founded in 1972 as Dansk Naturgas A/S and later rebranded to DONG Energy in 2006, the company underwent a significant transformation in 2017 when it adopted the name Ørsted—honoring the Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted—and shifted its core focus from fossil fuels to renewables. This transition was marked by the divestment of oil and gas assets and a concerted investment in offshore wind farms, making Ørsted one of the pioneering developers in the sector. Over the past decade, the company has brought dozens of offshore wind projects online, setting industry benchmarks for scale and efficiency.
Ørsted’s operational footprint spans Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Key projects include large-scale offshore wind farms in the UK’s North Sea, the U.S. East Coast and waters off Taiwan. In addition to wind power, Ørsted is investing in battery storage and green hydrogen initiatives to complement its renewable energy generation and support grid stability. The company collaborates with utilities, corporate clients and governments, offering services that range from project planning and financing to long-term operations and maintenance.
Since taking the helm in January 2021, CEO Mads Nipper has driven Ørsted’s commitment to innovation and sustainable growth, reinforcing the company’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality in its energy generation by 2025 and across its entire value chain by 2040. Under his leadership, Ørsted continues to explore emerging technologies and strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating the global energy transition and meeting rising demand for clean power solutions.
