中国石化新闻网讯 据全球能源新闻网8月5日报道,世界海上风电巨头Φrsted已经完成了位于德克萨斯州Wilbarger和Baylor县的367兆瓦的西部Trail风电场,这是其迄今为止最大的陆上风电项目,使Φrsted的陆上风电、太阳能和电池存储总容量超过2.8吉瓦。
该项目已与百事公司(PepsiCo )、荷美尔食品公司(Hormel Foods )和纽柯公司(Nucor)签署了该项目大部分电力的长期电力购买协议。百事公司和荷美尔食品公司也将从西南电力池(SPP)的Haystack风电项目购买电力,该项目将于今年晚些时候上线。
Φrsted陆上公司高级副总裁Philip Moore表示,Western Trail Wind 是一个选址良好的绿地开发项目,将为德克萨斯电网提供低成本、可靠的电力。我为我们团队在这个项目上的工作感到非常自豪,因为我们继续扩大业务,并在美国能源转型中发挥领导作用。
该项目位于Stan Kroenke拥有的资产上。Kroenke Ranches的土地经理Daniel Zyvoloski表示,Waggoner Ranch在开发能源方面有着悠久的历史。我们很高兴能与Φrsted在西部Trail风电场合作,使可再生能源成为我们牧场运营的一部分。
西部Trail将以增加各县和三个独立区域的财产税的形式提供长期财政回报。
Φrsted提供西部Trail Wind与领先的税务股权供应商、设备供应商和建筑公司长期合作。所有这些都有助于该项目的顺利完成。

ORSTED COMPLETES ITS LARGEST ONSHORE WIND PROJECT TO DATE IN TEXAS
Φrsted has completed the 367 MW Western Trail Wind Farm located in Wilbarger and Baylor counties, Texas – its largest onshore wind project to date that brings Φrsted’s total onshore capacity to over 2.8 GW of wind, solar, and battery storage in operation.
The project has secured long-term power purchase agreements with PepsiCo, Hormel Foods, and Nucor for the majority of the power generated from the project. Both PepsiCo and Hormel Foods will also purchase power from the Haystack Wind project in SPP (Southwest Power Pool), due online later this year.
“Western Trail Wind is a well-sited greenfield development project that will provide low-cost, reliable power to the Texas grid,” said Philip Moore, Senior Vice President of ?rsted Onshore. “I’m very proud of our team working on this project as we continue to scale the business and play a leading role in the US energy transition.”
The project is situated on proporty owned by Stan Kroenke. Daniel Zyvoloski, Land Manager for Kroenke Ranches, says: “The Waggoner Ranch has a rich history for developing energy resources. We’re excited to partner with ?rsted on the Western Trail Wind Farm to make renewable energy a part of our ranching operation.”
Western Trail will provide long-term financial returns in the form of increased property tax to the counties and three independent school districts.
Φrsted delivered Western Trail Wind working with long-standing relationships with leading tax equity providers, equipment suppliers, and construction companies. All were instrumental to the smooth completion of the project.
