據油價網7月6日報道,美國海洋能源管理局批準了一個大型海上風電項目,稱該項目將為38萬多戶家庭供電,并“創造3000多個高薪工作崗位”。
位于新澤西州海岸外的海洋風電1號項目將擁有1.1吉瓦的發電能力。這是美國本屆政府到2030年建設30吉瓦海上風電發電能力的更廣泛計劃的一部分。
海洋風電1號項目將由丹麥渦輪機巨頭?rsted領導,該公司最近透露,計劃到2030年投資約680億美元建設50吉瓦的新產能。
與此同時,這家丹麥公司抱怨“成本飆升”,這促使該公司要求英國政府為其迄今為止最大的項目——3吉瓦的Hornsea 3項目——提供更多補貼。
在美國,根據《通貨膨脹削減法案》,政府對風能和太陽能提供了大量支持。然而,即便在那里,?rsted也面臨著與成本相關的挑戰。
在路透社最近的一份報告中,據稱該公司正在考慮重新配置海洋風2號項目,此前該公司宣布,重新配置和潛在的項目退出意向將是其對不確定盈利能力的回應。
美國海洋能源管理局局長伊麗莎白·克萊因在評論關于“海洋風1號”的新聞時表示,該項目的批準表明了聯邦政府對發展清潔能源和應對氣候變化的承諾,也證明了新澤西州在支持沿海社區可持續能源和經濟發展方面的領導地位。

U.S. Greenlights Major Offshore Wind Project
The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has approved a large-scale offshore wind power project that it says would power more than 380,000 homes and “create more than 3,000 good-paying jobs.”
The Ocean Wind 1 project, to be located off the coast of New Jersey, will have a capacity of 1.1 GW. It is part of a broader plan by the Biden administration to build 30 GW of offshore wind power capacity by 2030.
The Ocean Wind 1 project will be led by Danish turbine major ?rsted, which recently revealed plans to invest some $68 billion in building 50 GW of new capacity by 2030.
The Danish company at the same time complained about “soaring costs” which prompted the company to ask for more subsidies from the UK government for its biggest project to date, the 3-GW Hornsea 3 installation.
In the United States, there is plenty of government support for wind and solar power from the Inflation Reduction Act. Yet even there, ?rsted is facing challenges related to costs.
In a recent report by Reuters, the company was said to consider reconfiguring the Ocean Wind 2 project, after being quoted as declaring reconfigurations and potential project exits would be its response to uncertain profitability.
"The project's approval demonstrates the federal government's commitment to developing clean energy and fighting climate change and is a testament to the state of New Jersey's leadership in supporting sustainable sources of energy and economic development for coastal communities," the director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Elizabeth Klein, said in comments on the news about Ocean Winds 1.
