Ørsted Reportedly Mulls Sale of EUR 1 Billion Worth of Onshore Assets in US Ørsted A/S (CPH:ORSTED) is considering disposing of its onshore renewable energy assets in the US and has tapped advisers to help it in the process, Bloomberg reported, citing sources. The targeted portfolio includes onshore wind, solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS) and a potential sale could result in more than USD 1 billion (EUR 859 million) in proceeds, according to one of the insiders quoted by the media. The contemplated sale is said to be aimed at allowing the Nordic firm to focus on its core offshore wind activities in Europe.

The report comes after the Danish energy company acquired the 150-MW Salzburg BESS project in the state of Michigan earlier this year. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 20

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 214% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (20% operating cash flow to total debt). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (29% accrual ratio).

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 18% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (18% operating cash flow to total debt).

U.S. Department of Energy Selects Ørsted to Receive Industrial Decarbonization Funding Ørsted announced it has been selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations to begin award negotiations for up to $100 million in federal funding to construct a Power-to-X facility, called Star e-Methanol, along the Texas Gulf Coast. The U.S. industrial and transportation sectors accounts for 65% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Ørsted is leveraging its renewable power portfolio to produce green hydrogen and e-methanol to reduce emissions from these sectors. Star e-Methanol is estimated to produce up to 300,000 metric tons of e-methanol annually which can be used directly as a marine shipping fuel, or as an input in sustainable aviation fuel or in chemical production, which all currently rely on energy-intensive fossil-derived fuels. The Star e-Methanol project consists of multiple components to reach a net-neutral carbon solution. This includes building new onshore wind and solar projects in Texas to power the electrolysis of green hydrogen, capturing biogenic carbon from an industrial facility, and synthesizing the captured biogenic carbon with green hydrogen to create e-methanol. The resulting e-methanol will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 90% compared to conventional marine fuel. The project is estimated to create 300 construction jobs and 50 permanent jobs for operations and maintenance. Many employees supporting the project will be based in Houston, where Ørsted opened a new office in early 2024. Ørsted has also committed to working with the University of Houston to create a meaningful community benefits plan that incorporates workforce development training, furthering STEM at educational institutions, and supporting environmental justice initiatives.
