據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)7月6日報(bào)道，美國海洋能源管理局批準(zhǔn)了一個大型海上風(fēng)電項(xiàng)目，稱該項(xiàng)目將為38萬多戶家庭供電，并“創(chuàng)造3000多個高薪工作崗位”。

位于新澤西州海岸外的海洋風(fēng)電1號項(xiàng)目將擁有1.1吉瓦的發(fā)電能力。這是美國本屆政府到2030年建設(shè)30吉瓦海上風(fēng)電發(fā)電能力的更廣泛計(jì)劃的一部分。

海洋風(fēng)電1號項(xiàng)目將由丹麥渦輪機(jī)巨頭?rsted領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，該公司最近透露，計(jì)劃到2030年投資約680億美元建設(shè)50吉瓦的新產(chǎn)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(xiàng)目——3吉瓦的Hornsea 3項(xiàng)目——提供更多補(bǔ)貼。

在美國，根據(jù)《通貨膨脹削減法案》，政府對風(fēng)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(guān)的挑戰(zhàn)。

在路透社最近的一份報(bào)告中，據(jù)稱該公司正在考慮重新配置海洋風(fēng)2號項(xiàng)目，此前該公司宣布，重新配置和潛在的項(xiàng)目退出意向?qū)⑹瞧鋵Σ淮_定盈利能力的回應(yīng)。

美國海洋能源管理局局長伊麗莎白·克萊因在評論關(guān)于“海洋風(fēng)1號”的新聞時表示，該項(xiàng)目的批準(zhǔn)表明了聯(lián)邦政府對發(fā)展清潔能源和應(yīng)對氣候變化的承諾，也證明了新澤西州在支持沿海社區(qū)可持續(xù)能源和經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展方面的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)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.
