特朗普政府正继续推动美国海上风电项目退出。最新一笔安排是向德国公用事业公司 RWE 支付 12 亿美元,以取消其在加州、路易斯安那州和纽约州外海的风电租约。至此,美国政府为促使开发商放弃 12 份海上风电租约,累计支出已达 39.3 亿美元。

涉及三地海上风电项目

RWE 在公告中表示,被取消的项目原计划布局在美国三处沿海区域,包括加州、路易斯安那州和纽约州附近海域。根据 Heatmap News 报道,其中纽约项目原本发电能力将超过 3 吉瓦。

这意味着相关海上风电开发不再推进,政府则以补偿方式换取租约退出。报道没有提到这些项目原定的具体投运时间。

资金转向液化天然气与燃气机组

RWE 表示,取消租约后,公司将拿出 9 亿美元购买路易斯安那州一座液化天然气出口终端的小额股权。其余 3 亿美元将用于采购天然气涡轮机,为美国各地 15 座调峰电厂供电。

调峰电厂通常只在用电高峰时段运行,但运营成本较高,污染水平也高于部分其他天然气电站。报道提到,新的燃气轮机目前仍面临供应积压,交付排期已延伸到 2030 年代初。

  • 取消补偿金额:12 亿美元
  • LNG 终端投资:9 亿美元
  • 燃气机组采购:3 亿美元

RWE未退出其他海上风电市场

尽管退出美国这批项目,RWE 并未全面收缩海上风电投资。公司表示,已在英国最近一次拍卖中拿下 6.9 吉瓦装机容量。

这显示其调整重点主要发生在美国市场。对特朗普政府而言,这笔交易也进一步体现出其在能源政策上更倾向天然气等传统能源,而非继续推进海上风电扩张。
