(BFM Stock Exchange) – The US government ordered the work on the Offshore Wind Wind Wind Wind Wind Winds project on Friday, the Danish group holds 50%.

Orsted still takes water on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The action of the Danish group, leader in offshore wind energy development, dives this Monday, August 25 after new difficulties in the United States. Around 2 p.m., the title lost 16.2% on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.

The US government ordered the work on a huge wind farm project off the northeast coast on Friday, which was completed 80%on Friday.

Orsted confirmed on Monday the preparation of a lifting of 60 billion crowns (8 billion euros) via a titles program, to deal with the consequences of American decisions freezing the projects of wind farms.

The announcement of this capital increase, in mid-August, had caused a dive of the action of 29.7%, the lifting of funds then representing a little less than half of its market capitalization.

45 of the 65 wind turbines are already installed

In 2023, Orsted had already suffered a prejudice of $ 4 billion after the cancellation of wind farms in the United States, a crucial market for the group.

In a press release, the company said it was in contact with the American authorities for the resumption of the Revolution Wind project, of which 45 of the 65 wind turbines are already installed.

“We respect the injunction, and go to work with our partners and the American stakeholders to find a solution as soon as possible,” said Rasmus Errboe, CEO of Orsted. “The objective is to finalize the project and thus help meet the growing demand for electricity in the United States,” he added.

In the first half, the American administration had one time blocked another large wind project on the East Coast, off New York, ordering a new exam. She then gave her green light again, but the Norwegian Equinor, who piloted Empire Wind, depreciated the project up to $ 955 million in July.
