據OE網站1月28日報道，德國可再生能源巨頭萊茵集團(RWE)本周與丹麥能源局(Energistyrelsen)簽署了一份為期30年的承租協議，獲得丹麥迄今為止最大的海上風力發電場1吉瓦的Thor的建設和運營權。

該風電場將建在丹麥西海岸外，預計在2027年全面運營。一旦全面投入運營，Thor將能夠生產足夠的綠色電力供應100多戶萬丹麥家庭。總投資成本估計為155億丹麥克朗(約合23億美元)。

幾個競標者提出以最低價格建設可能最大發電量的海上風電場，這導致丹麥能源機構在2021年12月選擇了獲勝者——RWE。

萊茵集團可再生能源公司負責北歐、波蘭和波羅的海海上開發的執行副總裁 Pl Coldevin在評論該承租協議簽署時表示，斯堪的納維亞,尤其是丹麥,是我們重要的戰略增長市場。丹麥不僅有非常有利的風力條件，該國也有雄心部署更多的海上風力發電。

我們期待著與丹麥政府和其他伙伴合作，在今后幾個月中，我們將開始我們的初步調查。與Thor合作，我們在丹麥海岸有兩個項目，這意味著我們正在為丹麥的綠色能源轉型做出重大貢獻。

丹麥氣候、能源和公用事業部長Dan Jrgensen表示，我很高興與萊茵集團和Thor風電場I/S就Thor海上風電場達成協議，因為這表明丹麥風力發電在世界市場上是一項很好的業務。我們在30年前建造了丹麥的第一個海上風電場，因為我們對海上風力發電的潛力有一個遠見和信念。今天，我們可以看到，進一步的部署不僅是由政治野心推動的，而且，在一個全新的程度上，也是由強大的市場力量推動的。風力發電不僅有利于氣候，也可以是一筆好生意。

RWE Signs Deal to Build Thor, Denmark's Largest Offshore Wind Farm

German renewable energy giant RWE has this week signed a 30-year concession agreement with the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) for the rights to build and operate Denmark's largest offshore wind farm to date, the 1GW Thor.

The wind farm will be built off the Danish west coast and is scheduled to reach full operation in 2027. once fully operational, Thor would be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than one million Danish households.  Total investment costs have been estimated at DKK 15.5 billion ($2,3 billion).

Several bidders had offered to build the offshore wind farm with the largest possible capacity and at a minimum price leading the Danish Energy Agency to opt for a lottery system to select the winner - RWE - back in December 2021.

Commenting on the concession agreement signing,  Pl Coldevin, Executive Vice President for Offshore Development Nordics, Poland and Baltics at RWE Renewables said: "Scandinavia, and Denmark in particular, are important strategic growth markets for us. Denmark not only has very favorable wind conditions, the country also has ambitions to deploy even more offshore wind power.

"We are looking forward to working with the Danish Government and other partners, and in the upcoming months we will be starting our preliminary surveys. With Thor, we have two projects off the Danish coast and this means that we are making a major contribution to Denmark's green energy transition."

Dan Jrgensen, Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities in Denmark, said: "I'm delighted about this agreement with RWE and Thor Wind Farm I/S on the Thor Offshore Wind Farm, because it shows that Danish wind power is a good business on the world market. We built Denmark's first offshore wind farm 30 years ago because we had a vision and a belief in the potential of offshore wind power. Today, we can see that further deployment is not solely driven by political ambition but also, to an entirely new degree, by strong market forces. Wind power is not only good for the climate, it can also be really good business."
