👋Progress at pace doesn’t happen on its own: meet Marcin Dudek Monopile installation is now underway for the wind turbines and offshore substations at Baltica 2, a project being developed by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted. Long before the first vessel arrived on site, one team was already lining up every moving part behind the scenes. Marcin Dudek, our Offshore Site Manager, helps set the daily rhythm at sea. He coordinates construction crews, marine operations, and service teams so the work can progress safely, precisely, and at pace. Based in Gdańsk, our offshore site team also runs safety briefings, supports environmental monitoring, and manages key interfaces across offshore substations and subsea cables. And for Marcin, that means leading risk assessments, ensuring compliance with maritime regulations and environmental safeguards, and working closely with suppliers, subcontractors, port authorities, and vessel operators to make the most of every weather window 🌊🚢 Marcin puts it simply: “I’m proud to be part of Poland’s energy transformation through my work on Baltica 2, which is currently the largest offshore wind farm project in Poland and is helping pave the way for Poland’s wider energy transition.” 🎥 Take a look behind Baltica 2 with Marcin (VIDEO) #FacesofBaltica2

Update from Greater Changhua – the pace is picking up offshore in Taiwan 💪 The 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms have achieved two important milestones: ⚡ All 66 array cables have been successfully installed and energised. ⚡ All 42 wind turbines at Greater Changhua 4 (583 MW) have now been successfully connected to Taipower’s grid and are generating electricity. We’re continuing commissioning and grid integration works to ensure that all the complex systems of the offshore wind farms – from subsea cables to offshore substations – work together seamlessly, enabling reliable operation day in and day out. Progress continues towards full commercial operation, bringing renewable electricity to Taiwan’s grid and supporting key industries in building a resilient, low-carbon future. 🌊⚡

There’s no Ørsted without our suppliers 🤝 Behind every wind farm is a network of suppliers that make it possible – and many of our partners in the UK are now taking that expertise global. Over the last five years, we’ve signed major contracts with 255 UK companies, and more than half have worked with us on two or more contracts. That matters because strong supply chains aren’t built transaction by transaction. They’re built through long-term partnerships, shared experience, and trust 🙌 Nearly 30 % of the companies in our latest UK supply chain map have supported Ørsted projects outside the UK, with many developing their capabilities by working on some of our early UK offshore wind projects before expanding globally. Companies like BGB Group, pictured here, have gone on to support projects in the US as well. Our suppliers are key to every stage of what we do – from developing and building wind farms to operating them safely and efficiently. There are far too many great partners to mention in one post, but you can explore the full 2026 UK Supply Chain Map here: https://lnkd.in/e-c9k2qj

Baltica 2 is shaping the future of energy in Poland⚡ Last week in Gdańsk, key leaders gathered to reflect on Baltica 2’s significance for Poland. The voices featured include Dariusz Lubera, President of the Management Board at PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, Rasmus Errboe, CEO of Ørsted, Paulina Hennig-Kloska, Poland’s Minister of Climate & Environment, Miłosz Motyka, Poland’s Minister of Energy, and Jerzy Wiatr, Vice President of the Management Board at GP Baltic. As a flagship offshore wind project, Baltica 2 will help drive the energy transition in Poland and across the Baltic Sea. Watch the recap below👇

📢 Big milestone alert: The first of 197 monopiles has been installed at Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm👏 A team of more than 200 experts from Ørsted and its contractors, Cadeler and Menck, are working closely together to ensure the safe installation of all 197 monopiles within the Hornsea Zone. Once completed, Hornsea 3 will be capable of generating 2.9 GW of renewable energy – enough to power more than 3.3 million UK homes. The monopiles are the largest we’ve ever used offshore in Europe, and each will support a 15 MW wind turbine. This great milestone demonstrates our strategy execution at scale and our commitment to supporting Europe’s energy security and competitiveness.

7+ billion kWh of green electricity in just two years for Greater Changhua 1 and 2a 🙌 Today, we celebrate our 900 MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a – Taiwan’s largest operating offshore wind farms. Located 35–60 km offshore in the Taiwan Strait, the 111 wind turbines have remained reliable through typhoons, earthquakes, heat, humidity, and rough seas – at a time when electricity demand and expectations for reliability continue to grow globally 👏 Two years in: ⚡ 7+ billion kWh of green electricity generated 🌍 3.31 million tonnes of carbon emissions avoided 🦺 850,000+ hours without a single lost-time injury Greater Changhua 1 and 2a demonstrate our ability to deliver stable, large-scale green energy with strong reliability. This is only possible thanks to our Taiwan-based operations and maintenance team of nearly 100 skilled professionals, supported by more than 20 local supply chain partners and backed by Ørsted’s 35+ years of global offshore wind experience. Congratulations to our Taiwan team, partners, and suppliers who made this possible and who work every day to keep operations safe, stable, and reliable.

111 foundations. Installation at Baltica 2 has officially begun 🌊⚡ Together with PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, we’re installing the foundations for Baltica 2 – Poland’s largest offshore wind project under construction. Over the coming months, 111 monopiles will be installed in the Baltic Sea by Van Oord – 107 for wind turbines and 4 for offshore substations. This milestone marks the start of large-scale offshore construction and brings Baltica 2 significantly closer to first power in 2027. With a capacity of 1.5 GW, Baltica 2 will generate enough renewable electricity to power around 2.5 million households in Poland. Beyond delivering renewable energy, the project will help strengthen Poland’s energy security and support a more resilient, independent European energy system 🌬️ #Baltica2 #OffshoreWind #Ørsted #PGE

This past quarter, Ørsted generated more renewable energy than ever before, delivering secure, green, and affordable energy powering millions of households and businesses across three continents. In fact, we've generated 27 % more offshore power compared to Q1 in 2025, and we delivered an EBITDA (excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees) of DKK 9.5 billion. These numbers will only increase as our 8.1 GW offshore wind farms under construction are plugged into the grid, delivering green electricity to millions of people. At the same time, we're witnessing the second global energy crisis in less than five years. This comes at an unacceptably high price for households and businesses – making the needed shift to renewable energy more important and obvious than ever, especially for Europe. Our CEO, Rasmus Errboe, addresses this in the video, advocating that an energy system based on solar, onshore wind, and not least offshore wind is the only reliable and affordable alternative to imported fossil fuels for Europe.

Today, we completed the divestment of our European onshore business. This transaction marks an important step in sharpening our strategic focus on offshore wind in our core European markets, while strengthening our capital structure. As part of the transition, more than 200 of our colleagues have moved on from Ørsted to join Perigus Energy – a new stand-alone company established within Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. We thank them for their contributions and wish them every success in this next chapter 💚

It seems WindEurope 2026 went by in a flash – but what stands out? Watch below 👇 We asked some of our great colleagues to reflect on their experience at this year’s conference. Thank you for the discussions, debates, panels, presentations – and everything in between 💙
