Energy companies Orsted, the largest in Denmark and one of the leaders in the field of renewable energy, will remain without part of the profits due to the weak wind in Europe. This is reported by Financial Times with reference to the general director of Madsa Nipper.
He said that the “green” energy fligant specializing in the production and installation of wind power plants was launched 220 million dollars at the end of the second quarter of 2021. According to profits, the company hit the weakest of the wind speed in the North Sea, where most windmills are located. “It’s very serious. As if you are a farmer who does not rain,” he said. Even if, right now, the wind will begin to blow with the usual speed, the forecast for the annual profit of the company is 2.5 billion dollars will not come true. After applications, the company’s shareholder fell by four percent.
Following the first half of the year, Orested profit amounted to 2.1 billion dollars. Part of the profits were received from the sale of two wind turbines in the Netherlands for $ 850 million, the remaining 1.25 billion dollars of the company brought working wind-power stations of water and earthly types. Nipper said that was satisfied with the results osted.
Low wind speed touched on other European wind power representatives – German RWE and British SSE. RWE reported that in the first six months of 2021 the company’s profit was lower than 3 forecasts for 21 percent. Despite the problems, Financial Director Michael Müller called the economic indicators “very good.” At the end of the year, RWE intends to earn 3-3.4 billion euros.
At the end of May, the United Kingdom set a record for the production of clean energy. Due to the strong storms, over an hour more than 60 percent of the entire electricity of the country was produced by wind power plants.
