Offshore wind power

From Denmark to the world

Since we built the first offshore wind farm in 1991 in Denmark, we have established ourselves as the leading offshore wind company globally.

How offshore wind farms work
Harnessing the power of nature
Off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan, we operate the largest offshore wind farms in the Asia-Pacific – Greater Changhua 1 and 2a. 111 turbines provide 900 megawatts of power – enough to power 1 million Taiwanese homes. 

We’re now building Greater Changhua 2b and 4, which will provide another 920 MW of power.

Offshore wind power has become an indispensable part of the green transition worldwide. The story begins in Denmark. There, offshore wind power has not only reduced carbon dioxide emissions, but also contributed to new jobs and growth throughout the country.

In a few decades, green energy from offshore wind turbines has gone from being an untested idea to being a form of energy that is produced on a large scale.

Innovation has driven down costs


Offshore wind power has become cheaper in a short time. Innovation and efficiency have reduced costs by more than 60% in the last decade alone. Today, electricity is produced from offshore wind power at prices that are competitive compared to other types of power in northwestern Europe.

How offshore wind farms work


We at Ørsted are building offshore wind farms all over the world to deliver green energy to millions of people. But how does it work?

In this film, we tell how it goes when wind is converted into electricity that we need in our everyday lives.
