Onshore wind energy

Working side by side with communities throughout America, Orsted is building onshore wind projects that are powering American homes and businesses. Harnessing wind power, we’re also helping ensure the nation’s energy security.

We operate 14 wind projects across the country, for a total of 3.5 GW of clean energy.

From permitting through construction to commercial operation, our teams manage every phase in-house, delivering projects at scale.

Our onshore wind projects:

  • Contribute to local communities by creating jobs as well as generating property tax revenues
  • Power over 1 million American homes today, with numbers rising every year
  • Produce no emissions or pollution

~$20 million

We make lease payments to thousands of American landowners – around $20 million a year in total.

Partnering with landowners and local communities


Every wind project starts with the people who know the land and community best. We listen to landowners and local leaders, plan around local needs, and keep people informed.

Lease payments provide steady, consistent income for landowners, while the additional property tax revenue from the wind farm can support local schools, roads, and emergency services.

Investing in communities

There is a great responsibility that comes with each project we build. Becoming part of a community, we support local organizations and businesses by boosting the economy, supporting education, and conserving the local environment.

We developed our construction and operational models over decades, and we use the knowledge and experience we’ve gained in every one of our onshore wind energy projects to generate clean, affordable energy.
