中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网站8月17日消息 阿波罗全球管理公司将通过至多2.65亿美元的投资，收购美国风能公司的股份。 阿波罗上周五表示：“阿波罗基金已承诺通过可转换债券和高达2.65亿美元的股本进行投资，以收购美国风能的股权，并为马里兰州沿海一个主要海上风能项目的开发和建设成本提供资金。” 总部位于马里兰州巴尔的摩的美国风能公司根据海洋能源管理局（BOEM）的租约控制着马里兰州风能区，该区域距离该州海岸10-30英里，足以安装约1.3吉瓦的可再生能源发电。 该项目的第一阶段将有270兆瓦的发电能力，足以为超过75000个马里兰州的家庭供电。 美国风能公司计划根据2013年马里兰州海上风能法案出售电力和海上风能可再生能源信用额度。 该项目预计于2024年初上线，使用寿命超过25年，预计将创造数千个就业机会。 阿波罗公司高级合伙人兼基础设施与自然资源部联席主管Geoffrey Strong表示：“随着各方围绕清洁能源的利益凝聚，美国风能行业在美国和海外都在迅速扩张。美国风能是一家领先的开发商。对于阿波罗公司来说，这是一个令人兴奋的合作伙伴关系，利用了我们在可再生能源基础设施投资方面的记录，并强调了公司对可持续性的坚定承诺。” 美国风能公司总裁Riccardo Toto说：“我们相信，与阿波罗公司的战略合作伙伴关系将为美国风能公司和马里兰州在推进海上风电项目开发方面创造重大价值。阿波罗是一个富有创造力和活力的合作伙伴，拥有全球专业知识，相信我们能够共同对美国的能源转型产生积极影响。” 吴恒磊 编译自 离岸工程 原文如下： Apollo to Buy Stake in US Wind for Up to $265M Apollo Global Management will acquire a share in US Wind, an offshore wind energy development company, via an investment of up to $265 million. "Apollo Funds have committed to invest through convertible debt and equity up to $265 million to acquire an equity stake in US Wind and fund development and construction costs associated with a major offshore wind energy project off the coast of Maryland," Apollo said last Friday. Baltimore, Maryland-based US Wind controls the Maryland Wind Energy Area under a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) lease of approximately 80,000 acres located ten to thirty miles off the state’s coast, an area that is sufficient to install an estimated 1.3 GW of renewable power generation. The first phase of the project will have a capacity of 270 MW, enough to power more than 75,000 Maryland homes. US Wind plans to sell electricity and Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Credits under the Maryland Offshore Wind Energy Act of 2013. Expected to come online in early 2024, the project has a 25+ year useful life and is expected to create thousands of jobs. Geoffrey Strong, Senior Partner and Co-Head of Infrastructure and Natural Resources at Apollo, said, “US Wind is a premier developer at the forefront of an offshore wind energy industry that is rapidly expanding in both the US and abroad, as interests coalesce around clean energy. For Apollo, this is an exciting partnership that leverages our track record in renewable energy infrastructure investments and underlines the Firm’s strong commitment to sustainability.” “We believe our strategic partnership with Apollo will create significant value for US Wind and the state of Maryland in advancing the development of our offshore wind projects,” said Riccardo Toto, President of US Wind. “Apollo is a creative and dynamic partner, with global expertise, and together we believe we can make a positive impact on the energy transition in the United States.” |
