據世界石油8月6日消息稱，據知情人士透露，道達爾能源公司正考慮入股將成為世界最大海上風力發電場的項目，因為這家法國石油巨頭繼續展示其綠色資質。

　　知情人士說，在巴黎上市的道達爾能源公司可以購買北海 Dogger Bank 風電項目第三階段約 20% 的股份，該項目由英國上市的 SSE公司和挪威的 Equinor公司開發。

　　海上風力發電場已成為投資者和能源公司夢寐以求的資產，這些投資者和能源公司希望在擺脫化石燃料的轉型過程中進行收購。3.6 吉瓦的 Dogger Bank 項目將在本十年晚些時候完成，為多達 600 萬個英國家庭提供足夠的低碳電力。

　　SSE 和 Equinor 將該項目分為三個 1.2 吉瓦的部分，并于去年以 4.05 億英鎊（5.63 億美元）的價格將前兩個階段的 20% 股權出售給了意大利石油公司埃尼。據彭博社 3 月報道，兩家公司預計將在第三階段分別出售 10% 的股份。

　　道達爾能源的代表拒絕置評。SSE的一名代表拒絕就具體交易置評，他表示，正如之前所說，該集團預計今年將在出售交易上取得進展。

　　Equinor的一位發言人表示:“我們此前曾表示，撤資是我們在海上風電領域創造價值和回報戰略的一部分。”該發言人也拒絕就具體交易置評。

　　大型風力發電廠不僅是快速建立低碳發電組合的誘人途徑，而且還讓石油公司能夠利用其數十年的海上工作經驗。

　　據彭博新聞此前報道，道達爾能源在歐洲石油巨頭之間實現凈零碳排放的競賽中開局最快，為其投資組合獲得了最多的可再生電力。去年，該公司在蘇格蘭的Seagreen 1投資了7000萬英鎊，收購了SSE的另一個海上風力發電場，這是該公司首次涉足此類資產的重大交易。

　　TotalEnergies eyes stake in world’s largest offshore wind farm

　　TotalEnergies SE is weighing taking a stake in what will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm, according to people familiar with the matter, as the French oil major continues to flex its green credentials.

　　Paris-listed TotalEnergies could buy a roughly 20% stake in the third phase of the Dogger Bank wind project in the North Sea, which is being developed by U.K.-listed SSE Plc and Norway’s Equinor ASA, the people said.

　　Offshore wind farms have become coveted assets among investors and energy companies looking to buy into the transition away from fossil fuels. The 3.6-gigawatt Dogger Bank project will provide enough low carbon power for up to 6 million U.K. homes when it completes later this decade.

　　SSE and Equinor have divided the project into three 1.2-gigawatt sections and last year sold a combined 20% stake in the first two phases to Italian oil company Eni SpA for 405 million pounds ($563 million). The two firms are each expected to sell 10% in the third phase, Bloomberg News reported in March.

　　A representative for TotalEnergies declined to comment. A representative for SSE declined to comment on specific deals, saying that, as previously stated, the group expects to make progress on the sale this year.

　　“We have previously said that divestment is part of our strategy to create value and return within offshore wind,” said a spokesman for Equinor, who also declined to comment on specific deals.

　　As well as being an attractive way to rapidly build low-carbon generation portfolios, giant wind farms also allow oil companies to leverage their decades of experience working at sea.

　　TotalEnergies has had the fastest start in the race between Europe’s oil supermajors to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, having acquired the most renewable electricity for its portfolio, Bloomberg News reported previously. Last year, it bought into another SSE offshore wind farm with a 70 million-pound investment in the Seagreen 1 in Scotland, a deal that marked its first significant foray into such assets.
