Orsted operates an offshore windfarm off the coast of Block Island, the first such facility in the U.S., and is near completing another wind farm manufacturing facility with Eversource Energy at the Port of Providence, which is operated by ProvPort Inc.
“Transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy is the existential challenge of our time, and I’m proud that Orsted’s leadership has once again been recognized on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list,” said David Hardy, CEO of Orsted Offshore North America. “Rapidly scaling the development of offshore wind and other renewable energy sources is critical to combat climate change. Our projects in the United States are creating thousands of jobs, building new domestic supply chains and enhancing communities, while powering millions of homes and offsetting carbon emissions with clean energy from wind, solar and green fuels.”
Orsted’s clean energy portfolio extends into 15 states while its supply chain spans across the entire U.S.
