The company said on Tuesday it had signed a deal with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its fifth flagship fund, Copenhagen Infrastructure V (CI V), to divest the unit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indexbox.io\/store\/denmark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Orsted&#8217;s European onshore<\/a> business comprises onshore wind, solar, and battery storage projects in Ireland, the UK, Germany, and Spain. The total value of the transaction is $1.7 billion (1.44 billion euros) with closing expected in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n<p>This sale represents the third cornerstone transaction that Orsted had previously announced. Last year, Orsted signed a deal to divest 50% in its 2.9 GW Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm to funds managed by <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/5681256\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Apollo Global Management<\/a> in a transaction valued at $5.6 billion. At the end of 2025, the Denmark-based firm also signed an agreement with Taiwan&#8217;s Cathay Life Insurance and its affiliate Cathay Power to sell 55% of its 632 MW Greater Changhua 2 Offshore Wind Farm in the Taiwan Strait for about $790 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Orsted has thereby finalised its divestment programme as planned and significantly strengthened its financial foundation,&#8221; the company said. With the latest sale, Orsted has signed transactions during 2025-2026 with proceeds totalling about $7.3 billion (46 billion Danish crowns), delivering on its target of more than $5.5 billion (35 billion crowns) in divestment proceeds during this period.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve now substantially strengthened Orsted&#8217;s financial position,&#8221; chief financial officer Trond Westlie said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/report\/850231\/909\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IndexBox Market Intelligence Platform<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">This report provides a comprehensive view of the wind powered generator industry in Europe, tracking demand, supply, and trade flows across the regional value chain.
