A massive bill for cable repairs, entry to new markets, plans to join the floating wind party, and a place on a Time magazine list of corporate high-flyers – not exactly a dull week at Orsted.
The global offshore wind market-leader took the industry by surprise when it revealed that cable-related damage at a number of its operating projects including at the UK’s Race Bank could ending up costing almost $500m – although the Dane insisted current developments underway won’t be affected.
The cable issue dominated discussion of Orsted’s first-quarter results, which showed a 52% fall on one-off factors, but there was plenty else to chew on from the Danish group.
