美国终止两项海上风电项目，将投资转向石油和天然气行业。

By

-- 美国内政部周二表示，美国已与两家海上风电开发商达成协议，终止相关项目并将投资转向传统能源项目。 内政部称，Bluepoint Wind 和 Golden State Wind 同意自愿终止其海上风电租赁协议，并将资金投入液化天然气和其他传统能源基础设施建设。 这些协议与 TotalEnergies (TTE) 达成的类似安排相呼应，是特朗普总统“能源主导议程”的一部分，该议程优先发展化石燃料，而非可再生能源。 美国内政部长道格·伯古姆表示，这些协议将有助于将投资从他所说的“间歇性、高成本”的能源项目转向“经济实惠、可靠”的基础负荷电力。 伯古姆说：“各公司正在再次投资于安全的能源基础设施，这将降低美国家庭的公用事业费用。” 包括贝莱德旗下全球基础设施合伙公司和海洋之风公司在内的Bluepoint Wind投资者已承诺向液化天然气项目投资高达7.65亿美元，与他们最初对该租赁项目的出价持平。作为交换，美国政府将取消该租赁项目，并在投资到位后退还已支付的款项。 与此同时，金州风能公司将退出其在加州莫罗湾地区的租赁项目，并在承诺向墨西哥湾沿岸的石油、天然气或液化天然气项目投入等额资金后，可收回约1.2亿美元的费用。 开发商还暗示将全面退出美国海上风电市场。两家公司均表示，他们不打算在美国开展新的海上风电项目，这凸显了在政策支持变化和成本上升的双重压力下，该行业面临的日益严峻的挑战。 协助促成这些协议的司法部表示，这些和解协议将避免旷日持久的诉讼，并确保纳税人的钱不会被用于补贴那些在没有政府支持的情况下被认为不可行项目的项目。
