Today, Ørsted finalised the divestment of its Danish power distribution business (Radius), residential customer business, and City Light business to SEAS-NVE.
As part of the transaction, approximately 750 employees have been transferred from Ørsted to SEAS-NVE.
“SEAS-NVE is a great new home for our Danish customer activities. At Ørsted, we’re committed to a global build-out of our renewable energy production, and our Danish customer activities wouldn’t get the attention they deserve in the future. We’re therefore no longer the right owner. I’d like to take this opportunity to warmly thank all the employees for their dedicated efforts for Ørsted and their significant contribution to our strategic transformation over the past years.”
The transaction leads to changes in Ørsted’s Board of Directors, as the two employee-elected board members
“I’d like to sincerely thank Hanne and Poul for their hard work and for their dedication to the Board during the last 14 and 11 years, respectively. I wish them both all the best in the future as part of SEAS-NVE.”
The information provided in this announcement does not change Ørsted’s previously announced guidance and expected investment level for the 2020 financial year.
