西门子能源着眼于美国海上风力发电机遇

据离岸工程网站4月9日消息 德国工程集团西门子能源的目标是从美国总统拜登计划的2.3万亿美元基础设施支出中分得一杯羹，包括电网和可再生能源，因为该公司的目标是在其最大的市场实现更高的销售额。

拜登上周提出了美国经济转型的计划，在低碳技术和更传统的基础设施方面进行了大规模的投资。

对于西门子能源来说，美国的收入占到70亿美元，约占其总收入的五分之一，但其看到了巨大的增长潜力，尤其是在海上风电领域。

西门子能源负责美国业务的蒂姆?奥利弗?霍尔特对路透社表示：“我们看到风能在陆上的巨大机遇，但最重要的是在海上。”他还指出，输电系统是一个增长型市场。

为了更好地抓住这个世界顶级经济体的增长点，去年从西门子AG剥离出来的西门子能源（正在考虑是否在美国东海岸建立海上风力涡轮机的本地生产基地，这是上周宣布的到2030年部署30吉瓦风力涡轮机计划的核心地区。

西门子能源拥有全球最大的海上风力涡轮机制造商西门子歌美飒67%的股份，该公司迄今仅通过两个生产基地为美国的陆上客户提供服务。

Siemens Energy Eyes Offshore Wind Opportunities in U.S.

German engineering group Siemens Energy aims for a slice of the $2.3 trillion U.S. President Joe Biden plans to spend on infrastructure, including power grids and renewables, as the company targets higher sales in its biggest market.

Biden last week set out his plans for a transformation of the U.S. economy with massive spending on low carbon technology as well as more traditional infrastructure.

For Siemens Energy, the United States accounts for $7 billion in revenues, or about a fifth of its total, but it sees great potential for growth, especially in offshore wind.

"We see great opportunities for wind energy, onshore but above all in the area of offshore," Tim Oliver Holt, who is in charge of Siemens Energy's U.S. business, told Reuters. He also pointed to transmission systems as a growth market.

To better capture growth in the world's top economy, Siemens Energy, which was spun off from Siemens AG last year, is considering whether to set up local production for offshore wind turbines on the U.S. East Coast, an area central to a plan announced last week to deploy 30 gigawatts by 2030.

Siemens Energy owns 67% in Siemens Gamesa, the world's largest maker of offshore wind turbines, which so far only caters for onshore clients in the United States via two production sites.
