“We aspire to be one of the true catalysts of systemic change to a greener society by continuing to prove that there is no long-term trade-off between sustainability and financial value creation. Mads Nipper CEO, Ørsted Our commitment to Australia Australia is a make-or-break region for climate change. The nation has already experienced the impacts of climate change firsthand, ravaged by higher temperatures, extreme drought, fires and floods.
We believe that more can be done to curb the consequences of climate change – and renewable energy holds the key. From day one, we’re committed to creating and nurturing local jobs, establishing local supply chains and developing a pipeline of large-scale projects. As always, we’re not afraid to explore new technologies and innovations if it means we can make a positive contribution to both climate and nature.
Global experience, local expertise Ørsted plays an important role in the global energy industry. Our large-scale offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, and energy storage facilities do more than mitigate climate change. They’re also making our energy infrastructure stronger and more robust. And they’re growing the national economy.
Globally, we’re the leader in offshore wind, with 1 in every 4 offshore wind turbines installed by Ørsted. We’ve currently built enough offshore wind to power 15 million people. By 2030, our ambition is to power 55 million people. Here in Australia, we’re well-poised to help unlock our nation’s potential for generating reliable homegrown renewable energy.
We always place a strong focus on economic and regional development, and we are in dialogue with government and local communities, including traditional owners, to bring offshore wind power that delivers to the needs of everyone in Australia.
