Matthias Bausenwein will step down as Orsted’s president of the Asia-Pacific region and chairman of Orsted Taiwan from tomorrow (20 January).
Bausenwein (pictured) will return to Europe for family reasons and take on a new role outside of Orsted, the Danish developer said.
While Orsted searches for a successor, Orsted’s group deputy chief executive and chief commercial officer Martin Neubert, will cover the responsibilities as head of the Asia-Pacific region.
Orsted Taiwan’s general manager Christy Wang will take on role of acting chairman of the division.
Neubert said: “We started our journey in APAC more than five years ago and we now have a highly skilled local organisation of more than 200 employees.
“We are committed to the Taiwanese market and will continue our investment while completing the construction of 900MW Greater Changhua 1&2a offshore wind farms by end of 2022.
“We are very well positioned to continue our growth journey in Asia-Pacific by executing on our regional growth strategy.”
Bausenwein joined Orsted in 2013 and was appointed as the President of Asia Pacific in 2016.
Orsted said it respected Bausenwein’s personal decision and would like to thank him for his great contributions for the company over the years.
