RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy announced today the 50th monopile foundation for the 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) was installed 33 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, keeping the project on schedule to hit the company's target of 70-100 monopiles set into the sea floor during the first of two installation seasons that run through the end of October.
2024年8月12日,弗吉尼亚州里士满/美通社——Dominion Energy今天宣布,实现了2.6GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) 50个单桩基础的安装,距离弗吉尼亚海滩33英里,使该项目保持进度以实现公司设定的70-100个单桩基础目标。 第一季度的两个安装季节将持续到10月底。
CVOW, the largest offshore wind project under construction in the United States, will consist of 176 turbines that will generate enough clean, renewable energy to power up to 660,000 homes and is expected to generate fuel savings of $3 billion for customers during the first 10 years of operation. Construction remains on schedule to be complete in late 2026.
CVOW是美国正在建设的最大的离岸风电项目,由176台涡轮发电机组成,将产生足够清洁可再生能源以供应高达660,000个家庭,并预计在首10年为客户节省燃料费30亿美元。施工计划按期完成,预计于2026年底竣工。
"Our on-time, on-budget Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project proves that regulated offshore wind works in the United States," said Robert M. Blue, Dominion Energy's chair, president and chief executive officer. "Offshore wind is critical to our all-of-the-above approach to provide our customers with affordable, reliable and increasingly clean energy."
“我们按期、按预算完成的Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind项目证明了监管离岸风电在美国可行,”Dominion Energy的董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Robert M. Blue说。“离岸风电对于我们提供价格合理、可靠且越来越清洁的能源的全选方案至关重要。”
The monopile foundations, which are being staged at Portsmouth Marine Terminal, are single vertical, steel cylinders manufactured by global leader EEW SPC and are being installed into the sea floor to support the wind turbine generators. Consistent with the project construction schedule, Dominion Energy will continue to install monopiles through the fall of 2024 and resume installations in May 2025.
单桩基础由全球领先的EEW SPC制造的单个垂直钢筒组成,被安装到海底以支撑风力涡轮机组。与项目建设时间表一致,Dominion Energy将继续在2024年秋季安装单桩基础,并在2025年5月恢复安装。
Offshore wind's economic development and jobs benefits are transformative for Hampton Roads and the Commonwealth. More than 800 Virginia-based workers – nearly 670 in the Hampton Roads region – have been engaged on the CVOW project or with other businesses supporting CVOW. More than 1,000 local jobs will be needed to support ongoing operations and maintenance of this facility after the project begins commercial operation.
离岸风电的经济发展和就业福利对于汉普顿路和州际来说是具有变革性的。在CVOW项目或支持CVOW的其他企业上已经有800多名弗吉尼亚州的工人(其中近670名在汉普顿路地区)参与。该项目开始商业运营后,将需要超过1,000个当地的工作来支持持续的运营和维护。
