Presentation
Operator
Wonderful good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Ørsted Q1 2024 Earnings Call. For the first part of this call, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. And after the presentation, you have possibility to ask questions during the question-and-answer session. Today's speakers are Group President and CEO Mads Knipper and CFO Trond Westlie. Gentlemen, please go ahead.
Mads Nipper
Thank you very much and hello everyone and thank you for joining our earnings call. First of all, I'm very happy to be joined today by you, Trond, our newly appointed CFO, Trond Westlie. Trond has strong competences and experience from his career as CFO in several global listed companies such as A.P. Moller-Maersk, Telenor and Aker Kvaerner. I will leave the word to Trond for introductory remarks when I hand over for the financials.
We decided to change and simplify the executive management structure at Ørsted to further sharpen the company's focus on project execution, financial discipline and value creation.

And our now ex-interim COO, Andrew Brown, has been appointed Vice Chair. We have been off to an encouraging start to 2024. On the back of our updated business plan, which we presented in the beginning of February, we have made good progress in regard to executing the plan and we have reached a number of important milestones. And let me take you through the most significant.
First of all, our 924 megawatt Sunrise Wind project, has been selected for award in New York's fourth offshore wind solicitation. I will cover the project and the path forward in detail on the next slide. We have submitted a bid into the Taiwanese Round 3.2 auction with our Greater Shanghai 3 project.
