Seasonal variations in wind speeds have dampened results for European energy companies’ offshore wind segments. Denmark’s Orsted, Sweden’s Vattenfall and Germany’s RWE all noted low wind speeds as a factor offsetting additional revenue from new capacity installed in the first nine months or third quarter of 2021. Orsted’s offshore power generation fell by 28pc year-on-year in Q3 “primarily due to significantly lower wind speeds, the divestment of 50pc of [the] Borssele 1&2 [wind farm] in May 2021, and a slightly lower availability”.
