Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
What would count as true or false
True if Ørsted's H1 2026 interim report shows offshore EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees of DKK 11.9 billion for H1 2026 against DKK 10.3 billion for H1 2025, and attributes the increase mainly to higher wind speeds and prices. Mostly true if the figures are within ±0.1 billion or the stated drivers differ slightly. Mixed if one figure is materially off, or the attribution is materially different. False if the figures do not match at all.

“EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees amounted to DKK 15.0 billion in H1 2026, compared to DKK 13.9 billion in H1 2025.”
Reasoning
An independent trade report published on the claim date [E1] gives offshore EBITDA excluding new partnerships and cancellation fees as DKK 11.9 billion for H1 2026 against DKK 10.3 billion for H1 2025, with the increase mainly driven by higher wind speeds and higher prices. This matches the claim's figures and stated drivers. The interim report excerpts [E2, E3] do not show the offshore segment figures directly, but they are consistent with it: group EBITDA on the same basis was DKK 15.0 billion versus 13.9 billion, and offshore site earnings rose mainly on higher wind speeds.
