据离岸工程网站10月18日消息 法国能源巨头道达尔董事长兼首席执行官周一在阿伯丁开设了该公司的英国海上风电枢纽。
他说：“该中心将是公司在阿伯丁现有海上运营中心的一部分。随着该公司英国业务的增长，该中心将使员工能够从石油和天然气过渡到海上风电。因此，其将利用TotalEnergies在阿伯丁运营在过去50年中积累的海上专业知识。”
“投资苏格兰和北海的能源项目一直是TotalEnergies历史的核心。我为我们与苏格兰的合作伙伴关系的成功以及我们共同取得的成就感到自豪，尤其是离岸产业的发展。随着能源转型速度的加快，我们将苏格兰视为拓展业务的好地方通过投资海上风电来改善关系。
帕特里克·波扬内表示：“作为一家长期从事英国能源供应的全球多元能源公司，我们决定在阿伯丁建立我们的英国海上风电中心，这标志着我们对英国可再生能源的未来充满信心，以及我们对苏格兰和北海的持续承诺。”
TotalEnergies与麦格理的绿色投资集团和苏格兰开发商可再生基础设施开发集团（RIDG）合作，参与苏格兰风电租赁回合，提出了一个名为“奥克尼风电场以西”的2吉瓦海上风电项目。

French energy major TotalEnergies' Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné align="justify"> "The Hub will be part of the company’s existing offshore operations center in Aberdeen. The Hub will enable the transition of staff from oil and gas to offshore wind as that part of the Company’s UK business grows. It will thus leverage the offshore expertise that TotalEnergies’ Aberdeen operations have built over the last 50 years," TotalEnergies said.
“Investing in energy projects in Scotland and the North Sea has been at the heart of TotalEnergies’ history. I am proud of the success of our partnership with Scotland and of our joint achievements, in particular the development of the offshore industry. With the energy transition gathering speed, we see Scotland as a great place to broaden our relationship by investing in offshore wind.
"As a global multi-energy company long engaged in UK energy supply, our decision to base our UK Offshore Wind Hub here in Aberdeen is a mark of our confidence in the future of renewables in the UK and our continued commitment to Scotland and the North Sea.” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies
The announcement comes as TotalEnergies, in partnership with Macquarie’s Green Investment Group and Scottish developer Renewable Infrastructure Development Group (RIDG), take part in the ScotWind leasing round having proposed a 2 GW offshore wind project called “West of Orkney Windfarm”.
