据路透社5月7日奥斯陆报道，挪威国家石油公司(Equinor)和意大利竞争对手埃尼集团(Eni)周四表示，两家公司计划合作开发北海浮式风力发电场，作为其在可再生能源生产领域扩张的一部分。

　　挪威政府已在北海的两个地区指定了高达4.5吉瓦的浮动式和底部固定式风力涡轮机容量，并计划最迟在下个月向议会提交进一步的细节。

　　Equinor表示，它已经与Vaargroenn（Eni拥有69.6%的股份，挪威HitecVision拥有30.4%的股份）合作，申请在Utsira Nord的海上风电区域，这是政府推广的两个地区之一。

　　"北海拥有某些世界上最好的风能资源，"Equinor的新能源解决方案负责人Paal Eitrheim表示。

　　"Utsira Nord的浮式海上风电场可能是下一个规?；南钅浚酝贫∈胶Ｉ戏绲绲墓ひ祷?，并为挪威工业创造新的机会。"

　　浮式风力发电场的开发成本比固定在海底的涡轮机高，但可以安装在更深的水域。Equinor已经在苏格兰沿海运营了一个这样的设施，并正在挪威建设一个进一步的试点项目。

　　然而，分析人士表示，若没有补贴，挪威开发海上浮式风力发电仍无利可图。

　　Vaargroenn合资公司此前还曾宣布，它正在与挪威南部的公用事业公司Agder Energi合作，在挪威寻求海上风电区域。

　　Equinor and Eni to collaborate on floating North Sea wind power

　　Norwegian oil company Equinor and Italian rival Eni plan to collaborate on development of floating wind farms in the North Sea as part of their expansion within renewable energy production, the companies said on Thursday.

　　The Norwegian government has earmarked two areas in the North Sea for up to 4.5 gigawatts of floating and bottom-fixed wind turbine capacity and plans to present further details to parliament no later than next month.

　　Equinor said it had teamed up with Vaargroenn, 69.6% owned by Eni and 30.4% by Norway's HitecVision, to apply for offshore wind acreage at Utsira Nord, one of the two areas promoted by the government.

　　"The North Sea has some of the world's best wind resources," said Paal Eitrheim, Equinor's head of new energy solutions.

　　"A floating offshore wind farm at Utsira Nord could be the next project at scale to drive industrialisation of floating offshore wind and create new opportunities for Norwegian industry."

　　Floating wind farms are more expensive to develop than turbines that are fixed to the seabed but can be located in deeper waters. Equinor already operates one such facility off the coast of Scotland and is building a further pilot project in Norway.

　　However, developing floating offshore wind power in Norway remains unprofitable without subsidies, analysts have said.

　　The Vaargroenn joint venture has also previously announced that it was working with southern Norwegian utility Agder Energi to seek offshore wind acreage in Norway.
