RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Virginia Electric and Power Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE: D), today secured the rights for a 176,505-acre lease area off the coast of Virginia Beach, adjacent and to the East of where the company's 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind is currently under construction.
2024年8月14日,電力公司Virginia Electric and Power Company以總部所在地Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D)的全資子公司的身份獲得了寬約176,505英畝的維吉尼亞海灘附近的租賃權,與目前正在施工的公司的2.6千瓦Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind相鄰和東側。
Winning the lease provides Dominion Energy with the option to pursue additional offshore wind development in the mid-Atlantic. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management indicates the lease area could support between 2.1 gigawatts and 4.0 gigawatts of offshore wind energy generation. The lease area is located approximately 35 nautical miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.
贏得租賃權爲Dominion Energy提供了在馬里蘭州中部追求額外海上風電開發的選擇。海洋能源管理局表示,租賃區域可以支持2.1千兆瓦至4.0千兆瓦的海上風能發電。租賃區位於切薩皮克灣口附近的約35海里處。
In early July, the company announced the acquisition from Avangrid of the 40,000-acre Kitty Hawk Wind North offshore wind lease area, to be renamed CVOW South. If approved by regulators and constructed, CVOW South would have a capacity of 800 MW, enough capacity to serve 200,000 homes. At this time, the company does not have an estimated timeline or cost for development of either CVOW South or the new leasehold.
7月初,該公司宣佈從Avangrid收購了4萬英畝的Kitty Hawk Wind North海上風電租賃區,將其更名爲CVOW South。如果獲得監管機構批准並建成,CVOW South將擁有800 MW的裝機容量,足以爲20萬戶住戶提供電力。目前,該公司對CVOW South或新的租賃權的開發時間表或成本沒有估算。
"Offshore wind is critical to our all-of-the-above approach to meet the unprecedented growth of our customer electric demand over the next decade," said Robert M. Blue, chair, president and chief executive officer of Dominion Energy. "Winning this lease area gives us another low-cost option to meet that growing demand while providing our customers with reliable, affordable and increasing clean energy."
「海上風電對我們應對下一個十年內客戶電力需求的前所未有的增長的全方位解決方案至關重要,」Dominion Energy的董事長、總裁兼首席執行官羅伯特·布魯說,「贏得這個租賃區爲我們提供了另一個低成本的方案以滿足日益增長的需求,同時爲我們的客戶提供可靠、經濟實惠和越來越清潔的能源。」
CVOW continues to be on-time and on-budget with in-service expected by the end of 2026. To date, 54 monopiles have been installed since the installation campaign began on May 22, 2024, consistent with the company's target of 70-100 monopiles during the first of two installation seasons that run from May through the end of October.
CVOW項目仍將按計劃和預算按時投入使用,預計將於2026年底啓用。自安裝活動於2024年5月22日開始以來,已安裝54個單樁基礎,與該公司第一和第二個安裝季節的目標(從5月到10月底)的70-100個單樁基礎保持一致。
