The world's largest offshore wind farm developer has made a final investment decision on Revolution Wind, Orsted said in a statement, adding that it is expected to be completed by 2025.
Development of the wind projects had been adversely affected by supply chain issues, increased interest rates and a lack of an OREC (offshore renewable energy certificate) adjustment on it's Sunrise Wind project, the company said.
"Significant adverse developments from supply chain challenges, leading to delays in the project schedule, and rising interest rates have led us to this decision," Orsted chief executive officer Mads Nipper said.
In August, Orsted said it may see U.S. impariments of $2.3 billion due to supply chain problems, soaring interest rates and a lack of new tax credits.
