据OE网站9月2日报道，近日，德国跨国化工公司巴斯夫(BASF)完成了对瑞典Vattenfall公司1.5吉瓦海上风电场Hollandse Kust Zuid 49.5%股份的收购。
荷兰北海风电场的建设于今年7月开始，该无补贴的海上风电场预计将于2023年全面投产。
巴斯夫周三表示，原本预计在2021年第四季度完成的收购，比原计划提前完成。
根据巴斯夫和Vattenfall于2021年6月签署的协议，购买价格为3亿欧元。包括巴斯夫为风电场建设提供的资金，巴斯夫的总承诺金额约为16亿欧元。
巴斯夫计划通过向金融合作投资者出售股份来减少投资。该公司已经开始了这一进程。
一旦投入使用，该风电场将成为世界上最大的海上风电场，总装机容量为1.5吉瓦。
巴斯夫表示，来自风电场的电力将使巴斯夫能够在其欧洲的几个生产基地实施创新的低排放技术。电力生产的另一个重要部分是为 Vattenfall 的荷兰客户保留的。
该海上风电场将由140台11兆瓦的涡轮机组成，转子直径为200米。
