挪威石油基金在荷兰投资数十亿美元建设海上风电场

据4月8日挪威时报报道，挪威石油基金以139亿挪威克朗的价格购买了荷兰海上风电场的一半股权。管理该基金的Norges Bank Investment Management公司指出，这是该基金在可再生能源基础设施方面的首次投资。

海上风电场Borssele 1号和2号已于去年第四季度完工。4月7日与运营商沃旭能源签署了购买协议，将在今年第二或第三季度完成。

NBIM的房地产和基础设施投资总监Mie Holstad说：“我们很高兴完成了对可再生能源非上市基础设施的第一笔投资，并期待与沃旭能源合作，沃旭能源是海上风电的市场领导者。这是一个很好的项目，这项投资符合我们建立高质量的风力和太阳能发电厂组合的战略。”

Borssele 1号和2号电站的发电量约为752兆瓦，所产生的能量相当于约100万荷兰家庭的年用电量。相比之下，根据石油和能源部的数据，挪威在今年初共有53个风电场，容量为3977兆瓦。因此，荷兰项目相当于挪威全部风电容量的19%。

周三，挪威石油基金经理Nicolai Tangen还介绍了该基金的新战略计划，“高回报、负责任的管理和开放性仍然是我们战略的关键词。修订后的战略侧重于优化流程、技术和员工的发展。”

Norway’s Oil Fund invests billions in offshore wind farms in the Netherlands

The Oil Fund has bought half of a Dutch offshore wind farm for NOK 13.9 billion.

This is the fund’s first investment in infrastructure for renewable energy, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the fund, noted.

The offshore wind farm Borssele 1 & 2 was completed in the fourth quarter last year. The purchase agreement with operator ?rsted was signed on April 7, and the purchase will be completed in the second or third quarter of this year.

“We are pleased to have completed our first investment in unlisted infrastructure for renewable energy and look forward to working with ?rsted, which is the market leader in offshore wind.

“This is a good project, and the investment is in line with our strategy of building a portfolio of high-quality wind and solar power plants,” Mie Holstad, NBIM’s director of real estate and infrastructure investments, noted.

Borssele 1 & 2 has a capacity of around 752 megawatts (MW) and produces energy corresponding to the annual electricity consumption of around one million Dutch households.

In comparison, Norway had a total of 53 wind farms with a capacity of 3,977 MW at the turn of the year, according to the Oil and Energy Ministry. The Dutch project thus corresponds to 19% of all of Norway’s wind power capacity.

New plan

The news of the offshore wind investment was presented at a press conference on Wednesday. There, Oil Fund manager Nicolai Tangen also presented a new strategy plan for the fund.

“The revised strategy is based on previous strategy plans. High returns, responsible management, and openness continue to be key words in our strategy,” Tangen said.

“The revised strategy focuses on optimizing processes, technology, and development of our employees.”

“The new plan is shorter, more precise, and more closely linked to action and the relationship between ongoing tasks and our strategic ambitions,” NBIM stated in a press release.
