UPDATE 1-US offshore wind writedowns seen soaring with Orsted earnings

European energy companies, including Denmark's Orsted, will likely write down more of their U.S. offshore wind investments this week after BP and Equinor booked $840 million in impairments in recent days. Orsted, the world's largest offshore wind developer, said in August it may see impairments of 16 billion Danish crowns ($2.3 billion) on its U.S. offshore developments due to supply chain problems, soaring interest rates and a lack of new tax credits. Orsted, which was not immediately available for comment, will post its third quarter earnings on Wednesday.
