原标题:全球现存最大浮式风电场在英国建设完成
中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网站9月22日消息 世界上最大的浮式风电场Kincardine在英国的建设现已完成,标志着Kincardine海上风电场有限公司(KOWL’s)合资企业与Statkraft于2018年签署的长期购电协议(PPA)的开始。
浮式风电场采用Principle Power开发的风浮子半潜式基础,基础上安装了五台MHI Vestas V164-9.5兆瓦海上风力涡轮机。
Statkraft将在2029年之前以每兆瓦时的最低保证价格从浮式风电项目购买所有电力输出。
Cobra集团的KOWL董事总经理(KOWL的主要股东)Jaime Altolaguirre表示:“我们满怀信心地与Statkraft签订了这项协议,因为我们知道,选择他们和选择这一特定的PPA结构,为我们提供了明确的长期收入,它也给了我们一个我们愿意长期合作的伙伴。”
“我们希望交易对手在英国拥有海上风电经验,并在英国律师事务所、出资人和投资者中有着良好的记录。Statkraft作为欧洲最大的可再生能源供应商,凭借其自身在该地区的大规模投资和运营经验而脱颖而出。这一坚实的经验使他们能够提供银行担保且具有竞争力的服务并迅速达成一致。”

World's Largest Floating Wind Farm Goes Online
The construction of the world’s largest floating wind farm Kincardine, in the UK, is now complete, marking the start of the long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed in 2018 between Kincardine Offshore Windfarm Ltd. (KOWL’s) joint venture and Statkraft.
The floating wind farm features Principle Power-developed Windfloat semi-submersible foundations on which five MHI Vestas V164-9.5 MW offshore wind turbines are installed.
Statkraft will purchase all electrical output from the floating wind project with a guaranteed minimum price per MWh until 2029.
Jaime Altolaguirre, KOWL’s Managing Director from Cobra Group (major shareholder in KOWL): "We entered into this agreement with Statkraft with confidence, knowing that selecting them and selecting this particular PPA structure, provided us with clarity on our long-term income. It also gave us a partner that we were willing to work with on a long-term basis.
"We wanted a counterparty who had offshore wind experience in the UK and a track record with UK law firms, funders and investors. Statkraft, as Europe's largest supplier of renewable energy, stood out due to their own large-scale investment and operational experience in this region. This solid experience allowed them to provide bankable and competitive commercial terms and to agree them quickly."
