据OE网站3月22日报道，日本最大的公用事业公司JERA已同意以15.5亿欧元(17亿美元)收购比利时海上风能生产商Parkwind，以扩大可再生能源领域，实现脱碳目标。

由东京电力公司控股公司（Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings）和中部电力公司（Chubu Electric Power Co Inc）组成的合资公司JERA，将通过该交易将Parkwind在比利时的四个海上风电场和一个正在德国建造的新风电场加入到其可再生能源投资组合中。

此次收购将使JERA的可再生能源资产(还包括在英国的现有海上风电投资)从2022年底的2.2吉瓦增加到2.8吉瓦。

JERA海外海上风电业务集团负责人Ken Matsuda在新闻发布会上表示，我们希望获得Parkwind在欧洲海上风电项目方面的专业知识和技术，这些可以用于JERA在亚洲现有的风电场和新项目。并补充道，JERA的目标是通过新的开发和收购，到2026年3月将其可再生能源资产提高到5吉瓦。

JERA表示，同意将Parkwind出售给JERA的Virya Energy将研究重新投资Parkwind比利时风力发电场少数股权的可能性。该交易将于今年晚些时候完成，目前尚待批准。

Parkwind目前在比利时近海岸运行201台涡轮机，装机发电量为771兆瓦，能够为80万户家庭供电，并在全球范围内，包括德国和爱尔兰，还有1.1吉瓦正在开发中。

Japan's JERA to Buy Belgium's Top Offshore Wind Firm for $1.7B

Japan's top utility JERA has agreed to buy Belgium-based offshore wind energy producer Parkwind for 1.55 billion euros ($1.7 billion), as it expands in renewable power to meet decarbonization goals.

JERA, a joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings and Chubu Electric Power Co Inc will add Parkwind's four offshore wind farms in Belgium and a new wind farm being built in Germany to its renewable portfolio through the deal.

The acquisition will increase JERA's renewable energy assets, which also include existing offshore wind investments in the United Kingdom, to 2.8 gigawatts (GW) from 2.2 GW as of the end of 2022.

"We want to gain Parkwind's know-how and knowledge of offshore wind power projects in Europe that can be utilized in JERA's existing wind farms and new projects mainly in Asia," Ken Matsuda, the head of JERA's overseas offshore wind power business group, told a news conference.

JERA aims to boost its renewable power assets to 5 GW by March 2026 through new development and acquisitions, he added.

Virya Energy, which agreed to sell Parkwind to JERA, will study the possibility of reinvesting in a minority stake in Parkwind's Belgian wind farms, JERA said. The deal is to be closed later this year, pending approvals.  

Parkwind currently runs 201 turbines off the coast of Belgium with a capacity of 771 megawatts, able to supply 800,000 households, and has another 1.1 GW in development worldwide, including in Germany and Ireland.
