据世界石油8月6日消息称，据知情人士透露，道达尔能源公司正考虑入股将成为世界最大海上风力发电场的项目，因为这家法国石油巨头继续展示其绿色资质。

　　知情人士说，在巴黎上市的道达尔能源公司可以购买北海 Dogger Bank 风电项目第三阶段约 20% 的股份，该项目由英国上市的 SSE公司和挪威的 Equinor公司开发。

　　海上风力发电场已成为投资者和能源公司梦寐以求的资产，这些投资者和能源公司希望在摆脱化石燃料的转型过程中进行收购。3.6 吉瓦的 Dogger Bank 项目将在本十年晚些时候完成，为多达 600 万个英国家庭提供足够的低碳电力。

　　SSE 和 Equinor 将该项目分为三个 1.2 吉瓦的部分，并于去年以 4.05 亿英镑（5.63 亿美元）的价格将前两个阶段的 20% 股权出售给了意大利石油公司埃尼。据彭博社 3 月报道，两家公司预计将在第三阶段分别出售 10% 的股份。

　　道达尔能源的代表拒绝置评。SSE的一名代表拒绝就具体交易置评，他表示，正如之前所说，该集团预计今年将在出售交易上取得进展。

　　Equinor的一位发言人表示:“我们此前曾表示，撤资是我们在海上风电领域创造价值和回报战略的一部分。”该发言人也拒绝就具体交易置评。

　　大型风力发电厂不仅是快速建立低碳发电组合的诱人途径，而且还让石油公司能够利用其数十年的海上工作经验。

　　据彭博新闻此前报道，道达尔能源在欧洲石油巨头之间实现净零碳排放的竞赛中开局最快，为其投资组合获得了最多的可再生电力。去年，该公司在苏格兰的Seagreen 1投资了7000万英镑，收购了SSE的另一个海上风力发电场，这是该公司首次涉足此类资产的重大交易。

　　TotalEnergies eyes stake in world’s largest offshore wind farm

　　TotalEnergies SE is weighing taking a stake in what will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm, according to people familiar with the matter, as the French oil major continues to flex its green credentials.

　　Paris-listed TotalEnergies could buy a roughly 20% stake in the third phase of the Dogger Bank wind project in the North Sea, which is being developed by U.K.-listed SSE Plc and Norway’s Equinor ASA, the people said.

　　Offshore wind farms have become coveted assets among investors and energy companies looking to buy into the transition away from fossil fuels. The 3.6-gigawatt Dogger Bank project will provide enough low carbon power for up to 6 million U.K. homes when it completes later this decade.

　　SSE and Equinor have divided the project into three 1.2-gigawatt sections and last year sold a combined 20% stake in the first two phases to Italian oil company Eni SpA for 405 million pounds ($563 million). The two firms are each expected to sell 10% in the third phase, Bloomberg News reported in March.

　　A representative for TotalEnergies declined to comment. A representative for SSE declined to comment on specific deals, saying that, as previously stated, the group expects to make progress on the sale this year.

　　“We have previously said that divestment is part of our strategy to create value and return within offshore wind,” said a spokesman for Equinor, who also declined to comment on specific deals.

　　As well as being an attractive way to rapidly build low-carbon generation portfolios, giant wind farms also allow oil companies to leverage their decades of experience working at sea.

　　TotalEnergies has had the fastest start in the race between Europe’s oil supermajors to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, having acquired the most renewable electricity for its portfolio, Bloomberg News reported previously. Last year, it bought into another SSE offshore wind farm with a 70 million-pound investment in the Seagreen 1 in Scotland, a deal that marked its first significant foray into such assets.
