据《能源年》3月7日报道，能源跨国公司Equinor和英国石油上周四宣布，两家已签署协议，将纽约州的南布鲁克林海运终端改造成海上风电行业的运营和维护中心。

更新设施的基础设施，包括安装低排放技术，将花费2亿美元-2.5亿美元。

该终端将有能力为Empire Wind项目、Beacon Wind项目和东海岸海上风电进一步的开发项目提供和组装最大的海上风电技术组件。

终端运营商、可持续南布鲁克林海运终端和纽约市经济发展公司也签署了该协议。

预计该开发项目将在该地区创造1,000多个工作岗位。

Empire Wind和Beacon Wind项目将使这两家跨国公司在纽约州开发3.3吉瓦的可再生能发电量，足以为大约200万户家庭供电。

Equinor计划加快该州海上可再生能源的开发，以实现其到2030年安装12吉瓦-16吉瓦可再生能源产能的雄心。

BP, Equinor create offshore wind hub in New York

Equinor and BP have signed an agreement to transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in the state of New York into an operations and maintenance hub for the offshore wind sector, the two energy multinationals announced on Thursday.

Between USD 200 million and USD 250 million will be spent on updating the facility’s infrastructure, including the installation of low-emissions technology.

The terminal will have the capacity to stage and assemble the largest offshore wind technology components for the Empire Wind project, the Beacon Wind project and further offshore wind developments on the East Coast.

The agreement was also signed by the terminal operator, Sustainable South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, and New York City Economic Development Corporation.

The development is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs in the region.

The Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects will see the two multinationals develop 3.3 GW of renewable capacity in the state of New York, enough to power around two million homes.

Equinor plans to accelerate development of offshore renewables in the state to meet its ambitions of installing 12-16 GW of renewable capacity by 2030.
