Orsted A/S (DK0060094928) closed at DKK 142.20 on the Copenhagen exchange on September 22, 2026, gaining 3.08 percent, or DKK 4.25. The immediate company development is the inauguration of the 913 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm in Germany, reported on September 23, 2026 by SolarQuarter.

913 MW project reaches operations

Borkum Riffgrund 3 is jointly owned by Orsted and Nuveen Infrastructure on a 50:50 basis, according to SolarQuarter. The wind farm is located about 72 kilometres from the German North Sea coast and is designed to generate enough electricity for nearly one million German households. Its 913 MW capacity is described as nearly one-tenth of Germany's national offshore wind capacity.

The project is Orsted's sixth operational offshore wind farm in Germany. With Borkum Riffgrund 3 now operational, Orsted's installed offshore wind capacity in the country has reached approximately 2.5 GW, equivalent to about 25 percent of Germany's offshore wind market, according to SolarQuarter.

Stock outperforms the local index

The September 22, 2026 trading session gave Orsted a measurable relative advantage: the shares rose 3.08 percent to DKK 142.20, while the OMX Copenhagen 20 finished 0.00 percent lower, according to the market data reported by AD HOC NEWS. The comparison matters because the project inauguration and the share move fall within the same September 23, 2026 publication cycle, although the available market data describe the completed session rather than a new intraday quote.

For investors, the operating milestone adds an asset-level measure to the stock story. Borkum Riffgrund 3 is connected to TenneT's DolWin epsilon offshore converter platform, and around 100 German companies were involved in its development and construction, as SolarQuarter reported on September 23, 2026.
