Stavanger/Fredericia (dpa -AfX) – The crisising wind farm operator Orsted can build on the support of his major shareholder Equinor in his capital increase. The Norwegian oil and gas group wants New shares For six billion Danish crowns (804 million euros), and thus maintained its ten percent participation in Orsted, as he announced in Stavanger on Monday. Orsted announced a capital increase of over 60 billion Danish crowns on August 11th. Orsted’s majority shareholder, the Danish state, also supports the step.
At Orsted, the partial sale of the “Sunrise” wind farm had recently burst. In addition, the US government imposed a construction stop for the already advanced wind power project “Revolution Wind” off the coast of Rhode Island, which Orsted builds together with an infrastructure subsidiary of the US financial giant Blackrock. The responsible authority justified the construction stop with newly occurred “concerns”.
Orsted said last week that the project had a complete approval from all of the positions involved. The construction of the project is 80 percent completed. All foundations are ready, 45 out of 65 turbines have already been installed. The group is in dialogue with the responsible authorities in order to be able to absorb the construction as quickly as possible.
Orsted builds and operates wind and solar parks and finances them through partial sales. US President Trump is a decisive opponent of wind power who instead relies on the increased promotion of oil and gas. Trump has taken a number of measures that bring the wind industry into trouble ./stw/stk
