美國終止兩項離岸風電項目，將投資轉向石油和天然氣產業。

By

-- 美國內政部週二表示，美國已與兩家離岸風電開發商達成協議，終止相關項目並將投資轉向傳統能源項目。 內政部稱，Bluepoint Wind 和 Golden State Wind 同意自願終止其離岸風電租賃協議，並將資金投入液化天然氣和其他傳統能源基礎設施建設。 這些協議與 TotalEnergies (TTE) 達成的類似安排相呼應，是川普總統「能源主導議程」的一部分，該議程優先發展化石燃料，而非再生能源。 美國內政部長道格·伯古姆表示，這些協議將有助於將投資從他所說的「間歇性、高成本」的能源項目轉向「經濟實惠、可靠」的基礎負荷電力。 伯古姆說：“各公司正在再次投資於安全的能源基礎設施，這將降低美國家庭的公用事業費用。” 包括貝萊德旗下全球基礎設施合夥公司和海洋之風公司在內的Bluepoint Wind投資者已承諾向液化天然氣項目投資高達7.65億美元，與他們最初對該租賃項目的出價持平。作為交換，美國政府將取消該租賃項目，並在投資到位後退還已支付的款項。 同時，金州風能公司將退出其在加州莫羅灣地區的租賃項目，並在承諾向墨西哥灣沿岸的石油、天然氣或液化天然氣項目投入等額資金後，可收回約1.2億美元的費用。 開發商也暗示將全面退出美國離岸風電市場。兩家公司都表示，他們不打算在美國開展新的離岸風電項目，這凸顯了在政策支持變化和成本上升的雙重壓力下，該行業面臨的日益嚴峻的挑戰。 協助促成這些協議的司法部表示，這些和解協議將避免曠日持久的訴訟，並確保納稅人的錢不會被用於補貼那些在沒有政府支持的情況下被認為不可行項目的項目。
