Neues Kapital zur Stärkung von Ørsted

(WK-intern) – Ørsted startet eine Bezugsrechtsemission zur Kapitalbeschaffung und bietet im Zeitraum vom 19. September bis 2. Oktober 2025 neue Aktien mit Bezugsrechten für bestehende Aktionäre an.

Der Erlös aus der Kapitalerhöhung deckt den unmittelbaren Finanzierungsbedarf, der durch die vollständige Übernahme von Sunrise Wind entsteht.

Der Erlös stärkt zudem Ørsteds Kapitalstruktur und trägt zur finanziellen Stabilität in den Jahren 2025 bis 2027 bei, wenn Ørsted den Bau von 8,1 GW Offshore-Windprojekten abschließen und unsere installierte Offshore-Windkapazität auf 18,3 GW erhöhen wird.

Schließlich wird der Erlös dazu beitragen, unsere Position als einer der führenden Akteure im Bereich Offshore-Wind zu festigen, da er eine solide Grundlage für Ørsteds Wertschöpfung durch potenzielle Investitionen in neue Offshore-Windprojekte in unseren Kernmärkten in Europa schafft und zur europäischen Energieunabhängigkeit beiträgt.
Wir beschaffen Kapital, um den unmittelbaren Finanzierungsbedarf durch die vollständige Übernahme von Sunrise Wind zu decken, die Risiken regulatorischer Unsicherheiten in den USA zu managen und die Kapitalstruktur von Ørsted zu stärken, damit wir unsere Wachstumspipeline ausbauen und langfristige Wertschöpfung erzielen können.

Ørsted publishes prospectus and initiates rights issue

Raising new capital to strengthen Ørsted
​
Ørsted is launching a rights issue to raise new capital, offering of new shares with pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders during the period 19 September – 2 October 2025.
The proceeds from the capital increase will cover the immediate financing needs created by retaining full ownership of Sunrise Wind.

The proceeds will also strengthen Ørsted’s capital structure and contribute to financial resilience in the years from 2025 to 2027 when Ørsted will complete the construction of 8.1 GW of offshore wind projects, which will increase our installed offshore wind capacity to
18.3 GW.

Finally, the proceeds will help cement our position as one of the leading players in offshore wind, as it will create a robust foundation for Ørsted’s value creation through potential investments in new offshore wind projects in our core markets in Europe, and help contribute to European energy independence.
We’re raising capital to cover immediate financing needs from retaining full ownership of Sunrise Wind, to manage risks from regulatory uncertainty in the US, and to strengthen Ørsted’s capital structure so we can deliver on our growth pipeline and long-term value creation.
