Market Chatter: Apollo Global Management in Talks to Buy 50% Stake in Orsted's Hornsea 3 Wind Project

Apollo Global Management (APO) is in discussions to acquire a 50% stake in Orsted's 8.5 billion pounds ($11.34 billion) Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm off the UK's east coast, Financial Times reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The report said that the 2.9-gigawatt project is one of eight offshore wind farms Orsted is racing to complete amid rising costs, supply chain issues, and political uncertainty that have strained the company's finances.

Orsted plans to raise at least 35 billion Danish Kroner ($5.5 billion) through the sale of assets, including Hornsea 3, a stake in a Taiwanese wind project, and its European onshore wind business, according to Financial Times.

Orsted and Apollo Global Management did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
