On September 1, 2025, Equinor, the Norwegian multinational energy company, invested nearly USD 1 billion in Ørsted, the Danish wind energy firm. The Equinor investment is a vote of confidence in Ørsted which has faced challenges from the opposition of the US administration to renewable energy. The injection of new capital will enable Ørsted to complete major projects in Europe and America. See Equinor’s news release
