Ørsted is the first utility operating solar and onshore and offshore wind in the U.S. and recently sold its power grid and residential distribution business to accelerate its transition to renewable energy and position itself as key player in offshore wind power – a great example of a smart pivot made by a leading energy company.
Nextracker is thrilled to be providing smart solar trackers with patented TrueCapture technology to Orsted’s 420 MWac Permian Energy Center project with partners Blattner Energy, Jinko Solar, and JA Solar.
In the starkest imaginable example of energy transition from fossil to renewable, Orsted’s Permian solar project will be built on a depleted oil field, and solar energy will be sold under long term contract to ExxonMobile energy trading.
