据管道&天然气杂志网3月2日报道，日前，道达尔能源已加入Trident Winds Inc.与Castle Wind LLC合资企业（JV），在加利福尼亚州中部莫罗湾海岸开发1吉瓦海上风电项目。该公司加入了该合资公司，并收购了北美EnBW之前持有的股份。

Castle Wind将于2022年底参与海洋能源管理局预期的租赁销售。

道达尔美国海上风电主管戴维·福隆（David Foulon）表示，道达尔很乐意将我们在部署高效、大规模海上资产方面的全球专业知识带到加利福尼亚州的Castle Wind。这些团队在过去几年完成的工作为当地社区奠定了坚实的基础，我们期待着与他们合作，为该州带来清洁能源。与Castle Wind的这一合作关系是道达尔为美国海上风电产业的发展做出贡献的又一重要步骤，并实现其到2030年成为全球五大可再生能源生产商的全球目标。

自2012年以来，道达尔一直是加州可再生能源领域的长期参与者，是总部位于圣何塞的SunPower的大股东。2022年2月，道达尔收购了SunPower公司的商业和工业解决方案业务，整合了近300人的团队，进一步增强了其在太阳能行业的影响力。该公司在旧金山和洛杉矶设有办事处。

Castle Wind的首席执行官真主安拉Weinstein表示，该公司欢迎道达尔能源公司对合资企业和项目团队的可再生能源的坚定承诺。自2016年首次在加利福尼亚州发现海上风电开发机会以来，我们已经取得了长足的进步，如今，我们正站在一个世代机遇的边缘，以确保加利福尼亚州的清洁能源未来。道达尔能源公司拥有超过10吉瓦的海上风电项目正在开发中，其经验和专业知识将为我们在加州实现海上风力发电提供宝贵的帮助。

TotalEnergies Joins JV to Develop Offshore Wind Farm in California

TotalEnergies has joined Trident Winds Inc. in the Castle Wind LLC joint venture (JV) for the development of a 1 GW offshore wind project off the coast of Morro Bay, off the Central California Coast. The company entered the JV and acquired the shares previously held by EnBW North America.

Castle Wind is poised to participate in the anticipated Bureau of Ocean Energy Management lease sale in late 2022.

"TotalEnergies is pleased to bring our global expertise in deploying efficient, large-scale offshore assets to Castle Wind in California,” David Foulon, head of U.S. Offshore Wind at TotalEnergies, said. “The work completed by the teams in the last years has laid a solid foundation with the local communities, and we look forward to working with them to bring clean energy to the state. This partnership in Castle Wind is another important step for TotalEnergies to contribute to the U.S. offshore wind industry ramp-up, and fulfill its global ambition of becoming a top five producer of renewable energy worldwide by 2030."

TotalEnergies has been a long-time renewable energy player in California as the majority shareholder of San Jose-based SunPower since 2012. In February 2022, TotalEnergies purchased SunPower Corp.'s Commercial & Industrial Solutions business, integrating the team of nearly 300 and further enhancing its footprint in the solar industry. The company has offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

"Castle Wind welcomes TotalEnergies with its deep commitment to renewable energy to the joint venture and the project team," Alla Weinstein, CEO of Castle Wind, said. "We have come a long way since first identifying the opportunity for offshore wind development in California in 2016 and stand today at the precipice of a generational opportunity to secure California's clean energy future. We are excited to begin the next chapter of this journey. TotalEnergies' experience and expertise, with over 10 GW of offshore wind projects under development, will be invaluable as we work towards making offshore wind a reality in California."
