Ørsted's Stake Sale: Ørsted has agreed to sell a 55% controlling stake in its Greater Changhua 2 offshore wind project in Taiwan to Cathay Life Insurance and Cathay Power for approximately 5 billion Danish kroner ($789 million).
Financial Strategy: This sale is part of Ørsted's strategy to strengthen its balance sheet amid challenges in the U.S. offshore wind market and rising costs in the broader offshore wind sector, which have impacted earnings and led to asset write-downs.
