Solar power and storage

We’re developing America’s solar energy and storage infrastructure, helping to increase domestic energy production to ensure the nation’s energy security.

In 2024, Ørsted was the second-largest solar installer by capacity in the U.S. Our Mockingbird and Old 300 solar centers in Texas and our Eleven Mile Solar Center in Arizona were among the largest projects installed last year.

The advantages of solar energy and storage systems are manifold. Utility-scale solar projects:

  • Have dropped in price by 90% since 2015
  • Can be paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS) to meet fluctuating demand
  • Produce no emissions or pollution
  • Employ more than 250,000 Americans across the U.S.

Ørsted currently has 6 solar and battery energy storage projects operating in the U.S.

Partnering with landowners and local communities


As a long-term operator of solar and BESS projects, we bring experience, expertise, and a belief in community to every project we operate. Our goal is to work with local landowners to ensure that communities benefit from every one of our projects.

As hosts of our solar and BESS projects, landowners can earn regular income that can be used to invest in their business, families, and communities. As a responsible developer, we maintain the quality of our partners’ land at all project stages, preserving soil, wildlife habitats, and natural resources. When a project ends, we recycle all solar panels and return land to its original state. And in every community in which we operate, Ørsted supports local public services like first responders, libraries, community centers, and schools.
