-- 北地電力（Northland Power，股票代碼：NPI.TO）週四宣布，已與台積電（TSMC）簽署一份為期30年的企業購電協議（CPPA），台積電將從其位於台灣的海龍海上風電項目中購買更多電力。 海龍計畫位於台灣海峽彰化沿岸，由三個離岸風電場組成，分別為294兆瓦的海龍2A場、224兆瓦的海龍2B場和504兆瓦的海龍3場。新協議建立在與台積電現有合作關係的基礎上，該合作關係已涵蓋海龍2B場和海龍3場。聲明稱，今年晚些時候，海龍2A場將轉入新的購電協議，屆時台積電將購買該專案100%的發電容量。 海龍計畫由北地電力（持股30.6%）與三井物產株式會社（持股40%）及Gentari International Renewables（持股29.4%）共同興建。 「與台積電達成的這項協議鞏固了海龍計畫的戰略重要性。一旦完成切換，將增強該計畫的長期經濟基礎，並直接為北地電力及其股東創造價值，」執行長克里斯汀·希利表示。 週三，北地電力股票在多倫多證券交易所收盤下跌0.45美元，報23.29美元。
