CIP to Buy Ørsted’s European Onshore Unit for €1.44 Billion

The sale completes Ørsted’s divestment program, enabling a renewed focus on offshore wind.

Overview

  • Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, via its CI V fund, agreed to acquire Ørsted’s entire European onshore wind, solar and battery storage business.
  • The portfolio includes 578 MW in operation, 248 MW under construction, and a multi‑gigawatt development pipeline across Ireland, the UK, Germany and Spain.
  • Closing is expected in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
  • The acquired platform will operate as a stand‑alone company under a new name, with Cork remaining its European onshore headquarters after completion.
  • Ørsted says the divestment finalizes its 2025–2026 asset sales and strengthens its finances, with reported proceeds across the period totaling about $7.3 billion.
