据油价网7月6日报道，美国海洋能源管理局批准了一个大型海上风电项目，称该项目将为38万多户家庭供电，并“创造3000多个高薪工作岗位”。

位于新泽西州海岸外的海洋风电1号项目将拥有1.1吉瓦的发电能力。这是美国本届政府到2030年建设30吉瓦海上风电发电能力的更广泛计划的一部分。

海洋风电1号项目将由丹麦涡轮机巨头?rsted领导，该公司最近透露，计划到2030年投资约680亿美元建设50吉瓦的新产能。

与此同时，这家丹麦公司抱怨“成本飙升”，这促使该公司要求英国政府为其迄今为止最大的项目——3吉瓦的Hornsea 3项目——提供更多补贴。

在美国，根据《通货膨胀削减法案》，政府对风能和太阳能提供了大量支持。然而，即便在那里，?rsted也面临着与成本相关的挑战。

在路透社最近的一份报告中，据称该公司正在考虑重新配置海洋风2号项目，此前该公司宣布，重新配置和潜在的项目退出意向将是其对不确定盈利能力的回应。

美国海洋能源管理局局长伊丽莎白·克莱因在评论关于“海洋风1号”的新闻时表示，该项目的批准表明了联邦政府对发展清洁能源和应对气候变化的承诺，也证明了新泽西州在支持沿海社区可持续能源和经济发展方面的领导地位。

U.S. Greenlights Major Offshore Wind Project

The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has approved a large-scale offshore wind power project that it says would power more than 380,000 homes and “create more than 3,000 good-paying jobs.”

The Ocean Wind 1 project, to be located off the coast of New Jersey, will have a capacity of 1.1 GW. It is part of a broader plan by the Biden administration to build 30 GW of offshore wind power capacity by 2030.

The Ocean Wind 1 project will be led by Danish turbine major ?rsted, which recently revealed plans to invest some $68 billion in building 50 GW of new capacity by 2030.

The Danish company at the same time complained about “soaring costs” which prompted the company to ask for more subsidies from the UK government for its biggest project to date, the 3-GW Hornsea 3 installation.

In the United States, there is plenty of government support for wind and solar power from the Inflation Reduction Act. Yet even there, ?rsted is facing challenges related to costs.

In a recent report by Reuters, the company was said to consider reconfiguring the Ocean Wind 2 project, after being quoted as declaring reconfigurations and potential project exits would be its response to uncertain profitability.

"The project's approval demonstrates the federal government's commitment to developing clean energy and fighting climate change and is a testament to the state of New Jersey's leadership in supporting sustainable sources of energy and economic development for coastal communities," the director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Elizabeth Klein, said in comments on the news about Ocean Winds 1.
