Sage Draw Wind brings Ørsted’s onshore operational installed capacity to 1.3-GW. The company currently has an additional 0.8 GW of onshore wind, solar and storage projects under construction and expected to enter operations in late 2020 and early 2021.
“The safe completion of Sage Draw amidst the escalating COVID-19 crisis is a testament to the resilience and adaptiveness of the Ørsted team and key project partners at Blattner Energy and GE Renewable Energy, and finance partners GE Energy Financial Services and BHE Renewables. This underscores the significant role renewable energy can play in continuing to build our economy as we manage through and beyond the current crisis.”
Sage Draw marks a key step in Ørsted’s path to reach 5GW installed onshore capacity by 2025.
