Ørsted to open new office in Texas

Ørsted’s EPC team manages the company’s wide-ranging supply chain, engineering and project planning, and construction of multi-technology clean energy projects. Ørsted already has an office in Austin and runs eight renewable energy projects in the state of Texas.

“Texas is already home to many of our land-based wind and solar farms that are providing economic opportunity, investment and clean American-produced energy,” David Hardy, EVP and CEO, Americas for Ørsted said during a visit to Texas this week. “Our growing team in Texas will continue to build our business and footprint in the region. With the largest offshore wind portfolio under development in the U.S. and one of the fastest growing onshore renewable energy businesses, we’re proud to build on the energy legacy that is foundational to Texas with the latest clean energy technologies in wind, solar, storage, green hydrogen and e-fuels.”

Ørsted plans to hire new employees for their projects in Texas which include building the first American-made offshore wind substation in Corpus Christi and supporting the construction of a first-of-its-kind 472-foot offshore wind turbine installation vessel in Brownsville.
