Faster, better decisions for offshore wind

Aegir was founded in 2020 by Scott Urquhart and Rikke Nørgaard, both having worked in the offshore wind sector since the rise of the commercialization of the industry. After a decade of working with leading developers in the sector with a focus on commercial and technical development and execution of projects, Scott and Rikke wanted to disrupt the process of assessing offshore wind opportunities.

Despite the sector's impressive growth, there were no established standards to evaluate investments. Business case preparation and modelling for an offshore wind project is still a manual and time-consuming process. Aegir Insights was established to provide a single-flow solution and dataset for modeling all offshore wind projects globally in less than one second, backed by intelligence.

Mission & Values

The transition to green energy is vital to secure our future. Limiting global warming demands accelerated offshore wind deployment but the progress is hindered by complex, slow-moving projects and uncertain investment landscapes. Aegir is empowering the green transition by offering instant transparency of project attractiveness.

Passion

We are passionate about empowering the green energy transition by enabling offshore wind players to make smarter decisions, faster.

Credibility

We are an independent industry voice and trusted partner for the offshore wind sector, providing bankable intelligence backed by deep industry experience.

Solution-driven

Executive team
