據《能源年》3月7日報道，能源跨國公司Equinor和英國石油上周四宣布，兩家已簽署協議，將紐約州的南布魯克林海運終端改造成海上風電行業的運營和維護中心。

更新設施的基礎設施，包括安裝低排放技術，將花費2億美元-2.5億美元。

該終端將有能力為Empire Wind項目、Beacon Wind項目和東海岸海上風電進一步的開發項目提供和組裝最大的海上風電技術組件。

終端運營商、可持續南布魯克林海運終端和紐約市經濟發展公司也簽署了該協議。

預計該開發項目將在該地區創造1,000多個工作崗位。

Empire Wind和Beacon Wind項目將使這兩家跨國公司在紐約州開發3.3吉瓦的可再生能發電量，足以為大約200萬戶家庭供電。

Equinor計劃加快該州海上可再生能源的開發，以實現其到2030年安裝12吉瓦-16吉瓦可再生能源產能的雄心。

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.
