Ørsted Invites Delaware Businesses to Sign Up Online for Offshore Wind Contracting Updates and Opportunities

Annapolis, MD - Ørsted, the U.S. leader in offshore wind, invites Delaware businesses to register on its online procurement portal, www.orstedprocurement.com, to take advantage of the immense business opportunities in the growing offshore wind supply chain. Ørsted’s procurement portal is the first of several actions Ørsted will take this year to enable Delaware businesses to benefit from the substantial economic promise of this new industry.

Offshore wind is expected to deliver a $109 billion economic impact in the U.S, according to the University of Delaware’s Special Initiative for Offshore Wind.

Ørsted is developer of Skipjack Wind, a 966 megawatt offshore wind project off the Delaware-Maryland coast that will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 300,000 homes in the region.

Ørsted launched the online portal to enable businesses to be identified for potential contracting opportunities with Skipjack Wind, Ørsted’s broader U.S. portfolio and the Tier 1 suppliers that are contracted to deliver offshore wind farms and other energy infrastructure projects.

“Delaware suppliers have a significant opportunity to help develop Skipjack Wind and grow Delaware’s clean energy economy,” said Brady Walker, Mid-Atlantic Market Manager. “We value long-term relationships with suppliers, and are committed to identifying vendors in Delaware to help make Skipjack Wind a project the entire region can be proud of.”

Ørsted also looks forward to holding Delaware Supplier Day events in the future to ensure that Delaware businesses and labor unions stay connected to Skipjack Project developments and upcoming contracting opportunities.
