据能源经济6月2日消息称,能源巨头英国石油公司周二加大了对美国可再生能源的投资,以2.2亿美元从开发商7X能源公司购买了太阳能项目。
这笔资产的产能为 9 吉瓦,标志着 BP 自2017 年收购欧洲最大太阳能开发商Lightsource的股份以来首次独立投资太阳能领域。
BP表示,这些资产将通过其与 Lightsource BP 的对半持股合资企业进行开发。该公司在几十年前采用了艳阳标志,以表达其在太阳能领域的雄心。
BP美国公司董事长Dave Lawler表示:“根据我们的战略,我们的目标是将这些项目与我们现有的陆上和海上风力、天然气、贸易和航运业务整合起来,以满足客户的需求。”
BP表示,收购的项目分布在美国12个州,其中德州和中西部的投资组合最大。
作为能源行业最雄心勃勃的战略之一,BP 计划到 2030 年将其石油产量削减 40%,并将其可再生能源业务增长 20 倍。
