Ørsted is launching a rights issue to raise new capital through the offering of new shares with pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders. The subscription period runs from 19 September to 2 October 2025.
The proceeds from the capital increase will cover immediate financing needs following the decision to retain full ownership of Sunrise Wind. They will also strengthen Ørsted’s capital structure and support financial resilience between 2025 and 2027, when the company expects to complete 8.1 GW of offshore wind projects. This will bring Ørsted’s installed offshore wind capacity to 18.3 GW.
In addition, the raised capital will provide a basis for potential investments in new offshore wind projects in Ørsted’s core European markets.
