The offshore wind industry had been lulled into a false sense of security through cheap money and a deflationary services market, Orsted’s outgoing interim COO Andy Brown said today.
If governments are serious about achieving decarbonisation targets, there needs to be an honest conversation about how to do so in an environment of perennial macroeconomic uncertainty.
Orsted A/S (CPH: ORSTED) shares slumped to their lowest level in six years after the Danish utility dropped two US wind projects and recorded 28.4 billion kroner ($4 billion) in impairments as the crisis in the wind industry is only getting worse.
All told, Ørsted’s impairments may reach 16 billion kroner ($2.33bn).
With the results of the first ScotWind offshore licensing round now imminent, it is perhaps worth having a wee cogitate about what the sustainable benefits or otherwise could accrue to Scotland.
