Ørsted

Danish energy company (formerly DONG Energy) that constructed the offshore wind market from scratch. In 2014, CEO Henrik Poulsen proposed selling all oil/gas assets and going all-in on offshore wind - inverting from 85% fossil fuel revenue to 86% renewable by 2019, hitting 2040 target 21 years early. Constructed the market through technology de-risking (500 Siemens turbine order), supply chain creation, regulatory shaping (Contracts for Difference), and cost curve acceleration (50% cost reduction 2014-2021). Built 25-30% of global offshore wind capacity outside China.
