When you partner with Ørsted, we treat your land with the same care as you do. We aim to be good neighbors, working closely with landowners on wind, solar, or battery storage projects, building long-term relationships with local businesses and community members.
At Ørsted, we listen to the communities in which we live and work and are committed to being a good neighbor for years to come. We proactively engage with residents and local officials throughout the construction and operation phases to ensure a direct line of communication with the community. We also regularly support the local community through donations to schools, emergency services, and charitable and youth-focused organizations.
Ørsted understands the importance of the land to our lease partners. With extensive experience in a variety of regions across the U.S., landowners can be confident our projects will be designed carefully to ensure the protection of roads, minimize impacts on neighbors, and preserve the integrity of the soil and land.
