Clean energy supply chain


At Ørsted, we’re developing domestic supply chains and infrastructure, spreading the benefits of clean energy jobs and investment across the U.S.


We’ve invested nearly $2 billion in building out the supply chain and infrastructure needed to support clean energy projects in the United States. This includes funding for new and expanded manufacturing facilities, port and shipyard development, and the creation of innovative clean energy technologies. We want the benefits of our projects to reach beyond the states where they operate, supporting manufacturers, suppliers, and small business owners across the country.

Spreading the benefits of offshore wind inland


In March 2021, the U.S. established a goal of developing 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030. With less than 1 GW currently in operation, this target opens up new possibilities for investing in the American economy and building out the offshore wind supply chain. At Ørsted, we aim to spread the benefits of offshore wind beyond coastal communities, collaborating with manufacturers, suppliers, and skilled laborers in states countrywide.
