“At present, Ørsted operates 15.5 GW of renewable energy assets, while 4.9 GW are under construction across technologies.”
Ørsted, company announcement 7 June 2023 Capital Markets Day: Ørsted confirms its ambition of ~50 GW renewable capacity by 2030 (Investegate (Ørsted))
Ørsted currently operates 15.5 GW of renewable energy assets, with 4.9 GW under construction.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
What would count as true or false
True if Ørsted's reported figures around June 2023 show about 15.5 GW of operating renewable capacity and about 4.9 GW under construction, each within ±0.1 GW. Mostly true if one or both figures are off by up to roughly 5%. Mixed if one figure matches and the other deviates materially (more than 10%). Mostly false or false if both deviate materially, with false for large discrepancies.

“aiming to boost installed capacity to 50 GW from the current 15.5 GW, where most is planned for the offshore segment. There is 4.9 GW under construction now while Ørsted has been awarded projects for another 10.6 GW and has 114 GW in the pipeline, the report shows.”
Reasoning
Ørsted's Q1 2023 investor presentation [E1] reports 15,478 MW of installed renewable capacity as of 31 March 2023 and 4,903 MW of decided (FID) capacity, both within ±0.1 GW of the claimed 15.5 GW and 4.9 GW. A news report from June 2023 [E2] gives the same figures, describing the 4.9 GW as under construction, though it draws on the company's own report. The presentation labels the 4.9 GW as decided rather than strictly under construction, a minor difference that does not change the figures the criteria test.
