Ørsted Maintains Strategic and Financial Momentum in H1 2026

Ørsted A/S has released its interim financial report for the first half of 2026, affirming its strategic and operational progress. In H1 2026, the company’s EBITDA reached DKK 15.0 billion, marking an increase of DKK 1.1 billion year-over-year. Significant advancements were reported in global construction projects, including the ongoing development of the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm.

Electricity generation from Ørsted's offshore operations rose 23% compared to last year, reaching 11.2 TWh. Despite facing higher taxes and impairment losses, Ørsted's efforts to solidify capital structure are paving the way for future growth, dividend payouts, and new opportunities in offshore wind energy.

However, net profit for H1 2026 was down to DKK 3.3 billion from DKK 8.2 billion last year, largely due to prior divestment gains and current financial pressures. Nonetheless, Ørsted remains committed to its 2026 financial targets, with a continued focus on operational efficiency and market expansion.
