中国石化新闻网讯 据Neftegaz.RU纽约7月20日消息称，816兆瓦的海上风力发电项目将为纽约消费者带来可再生能源，为纽约州雄心勃勃的可再生能源发展目标做出贡献，并为纽约带来显著的经济效益。 Equinor证实已经中标816兆瓦，该公司在实现纽约州可再生能源和气候目标方面发挥了重要作用，其中包括到2035年实现海上风力发电9000兆瓦的目标。对于Equinor在美国东海岸建设海上风力核心区的雄心来说，这也是一个重要的里程碑。该项目预计将开发60-80台风力涡轮机，每台装机容量超过10兆瓦。总投资约为30亿美元，该项目将为纽约50多万户家庭提供电力，预计将于2024年底启动。 Equinor新能源解决方案执行副总裁Pal Eitrheim表示：“我们很荣幸能够获得纽约近海的这一重大风能项目。Empire Wind代表了Equinor全球海上风力发展的突破，是我们作为一家综合性能源公司发展的重要一步。我们已经证明，我们可以在激烈的竞争中取得成功，我们的第一个风力项目在欧洲以外。到目前为止，该项目将是我们投资组合中最大的风电场。我们期待着与地方当局、地方社区和美国工业共同开发Empire Wind。” Equinor的Empire Wind项目将为纽约市带来可再生能源，同时刺激全州的经济发展机会。该项目预计将在建设和运营期间为当地创造约800个就业机会，包括在纽约首都地区建立当地制造的涡轮机基础。更广泛地说，Equinor致力于发展全国首个海上风电供应链，以支持海上风电项目的建设、安装和运营。Equinor还将投资逾6000万美元对纽约港口进行升级改造，以支持未来的海上风电项目，并进一步巩固纽约州作为美国海上风电中心的地位。此外，Equinor将承诺至少450万美元用于社区福利和劳动力发展，这将推动纽约国家海上风能培训学院和社区及劳动力福利基金的目标。 纽约州能源研究和开发署总裁兼首席执行官Alicia Barton表示：“Empire Wind项目的发展将为纽约带来重大的经济和环境效益，有助于巩固我们作为东北部海上风能中心的地位，并推动我们更接近于实现州长雄心勃勃的气候和能源目标。” 曹海斌 摘译自 Neftegaz.RU 原文如下： Equinor will build an offshore wind farm in the USA New York, USA, Neftegaz.RU. The 816 megawatt (MW) offshore wind project will bring renewable energy to New York consumers, contribute to the State’s ambitious renewable energy development goals, and provide significant economic benefits to New York. Equinor’s 816 MW winning bid confirms the company’s role as a major contributor in meeting New York State’s renewable energy and climate goals including its goal of 9,000 MW of offshore wind by 2035. It also represents an important milestone for Equinor’s ambition of building an offshore wind core area on the U.S. East Coast. The project is expected to be developed with 60-80 wind turbines, with an installed capacity of more than 10 MW each. Total investments will be approximately $3 billion, and the project will be able to power over 500,000 homes in New York, with an expected start up in late 2024. “We are proud to have been awarded this major wind project offshore New York. Empire Wind represents a breakthrough for Equinor’s global offshore wind ambitions and is an important step in our development as a broad energy company. We have demonstrated that we can be successful in fierce competition, with our first wind project outside of Europe. The project will be the biggest wind farm under contract in our portfolio so far. We are looking forward to developing Empire Wind together with local authorities, local communities and the U.S. industry,” Pal Eitrheim, executive vice president for Equinor New Energy Solutions, said. Equinor’s Empire Wind project will help bring renewable energy to New York City while spurring statewide economic development opportunities. The project is expected to create approximately 800 local jobs during construction and operation, including through the creation of locally manufactured turbine foundations in New York’s Capital Region. More broadly, Equinor is committed to developing the nation’s first offshore wind supply chain to support the construction, installation and operation of offshore wind projects. Equinor will also invest over $60 million in port upgrades in New York that will support future offshore wind projects and further strengthen the state’s position as the U.S. hub for offshore wind. Further, Equinor will commit at least $4.5M to community benefits and workforce development, which will further the goals of New York’s National Offshore Wind Training Institute and Community and Workforce Benefits Fund. Alicia Barton, NYSERDA President and CEO said," The development of Empire Wind will bring significant economic and environmental benefits to New York, help affirm our position as the offshore wind hub of the Northeast and propel us even closer to achieving the Governor’s ambitious climate and energy goals."
