据能源经济7月3日消息称，法国能源巨头 EDF 周四表示，与英荷壳牌公司的一个合资企业将在新泽西海岸建造美国“最强大的”风力发电厂之一。
EDF 在一份声明中表示，这座 1.5 吉瓦的设施每年将为 70 万户家庭供电。建设将于2024年开始。该风电场将位于距离新泽西州海岸10至20英里(16至32公里)的地方。
在新泽西州公用事业委员会授予该项目后，它将由壳牌和EDF对半持股的合资企业大西洋海岸海上风能公司建造。
EDF表示:“这个海上风力发电场将成为美国最强大的风力发电场之一。”美国总统乔•拜登(Joe Biden)设定了到2030年实现30吉瓦海上风能发电的目标。

Shell, France's energy giant EDF to build US offshore windfarm
French energy giant EDF said Thursday a joint venture with Anglo-Dutch firm Shell will build "one of the most powerful" windfarms in the United States off the coast of New Jersey.
The 1.5 gigawatt facility will supply power to 700,000 homes every year, EDF said in a statement. Construction will begin in 2024. The windfarm will be located 10 to 20 miles (16 to 32 kilometres) off the coast of New Jersey.
It will be built by Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, a 50-50 Shell-EDF joint venture, after it was awarded the project by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
"This offshore wind farm will be one of the most powerful in the United States," EDF said. US President Joe Biden has set a target of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.
