A dinamarquesa Ørsted (antiga Dong Energy), desde aproximadamente 2006, abandonou
progressivamente o carvão e o petróleo, que era sua principal atividade, para
favorecer as energias renováveis. Desde 2006, o grupo reduziu suas
emissões de CO2 em 52% e, em maio de 2017, vendeu suas atividades de produção
de petróleo e gás para a empresa suíça Ineos.
Sob responsabilidade da Ørsted, a Inglaterra inaugurou, na primeira semana
de setembro de 2018, o maior parque eólico marítimo do mundo. O empreendimento,
chamado de Walney Extension, localizado no Mar da Irlanda, está a 29
quilômetros da costa (da Inglaterra) e abrange uma área de 145 quilômetros
quadrados, com 87 turbinas e capacidade total de 659 megawatts. O projeto tem a
participação da Ørsted
de 50% em parceria com os fundos de pensão dinamarqueses PKA e PFA, com 25% de
participação de cada um. A energia é suficiente para fornecer eletricidade
a 590 mil residências.
Considerado pela empresa como
"uma enorme proeza de engenharia", conforme mensagem postada no
Twitter em 6 de setembro de 2018, a Walney Extension é o 11º parque eólico
offshore que a empresa possui no Reino Unido.
O Departamento de Negócios, Energia e Estratégia Industrial do Reino Unido
confirmou à CNN que o parque eólico offshore é o maior do mundo em termos de
megawatts produzidos.
De acordo com o Global Wind Energy Council, o Reino Unido tem a maior
capacidade eólica marítima estocada do mundo. No último ano, os parques eólicos
offshore tinham uma capacidade de mais de 6,8 mil megawatts. A Alemanha,
segunda colocada, produziu 5,5 mil megawatts.
