Daniel Lerup, CFO at Ørsted, says: “We are very pleased to have found a strong new owner for our remaining minority stake in London Array. We continue to see a strong appetite for offshore wind as an asset class, and with this divestment we are continuing our unrivalled record of efficient capital recycling to help fund our DKK 475 billion investment program towards 2030. Ørsted remains committed to the UK offshore wind market and will continue to invest significantly in the country’s green transformation, both onshore and offshore.”
