特朗普政府以国家安全为由暂停革命风电场建设

摘要

特朗普政府已下令暂停位于罗德岛近海、接近完工的革命风电项目,理由是国家安全问题,此举影响了可再生能源的发展及当地经济。

特朗普政府已指示停止位于罗德岛以南15英里的革命风电项目建设。海洋能源管理局代理局长马修·贾科纳通知丹麦开发商Ørsted,暂停建设是为“解决与保护美国国家安全利益相关的担忧”。该项目还涉及全球基础设施合作伙伴,正接近完工,计划于明年开始为罗德岛和康涅狄格州供电。

此举是政府一系列影响可再生能源行业措施的一部分,包括对新海上风电开发的暂停令以及修订的国税局指导方针,使风能和太阳能项目的税收激励更加复杂。商务部也在调查风力涡轮机进口是否构成国家安全威胁。

Ørsted表示正在“评估所有选项以迅速解决此事”,包括可能采取法律行动。国家海洋工业协会主席埃里克·米利托表达了担忧,称任何暂停都可能影响受益于该项目的就业和社区。他指出,美国目前只有一个完全运营的大型海上风电项目,强调需要多样化能源以满足日益增长的需求。

行业分析人士警告称,在电力需求增加的情况下限制可再生能源发展,可能导致全国电价上涨。美国清洁能源公司首席执行官杰森·格鲁梅特批评政府的决定,称其破坏了投资者信心和国家重点项目的进展。海洋网络首席执行官莉兹·伯多克强调了对能源成本、船舶运营商和工会工人的潜在负面影响。

今年四月,内政部同样以审批过程中分析不足为由暂停了位于长岛附近的帝国风电项目施工。停工令解除后,五月份施工恢复,但这一中断导致开发商Equinor因美国未来海上风电项目的监管变化,将投资价值削减近10亿美元。
