部署30吉瓦的海上風電將為1000萬戶家庭提供足夠的電力，支持7.7萬個就業(yè)崗位，并每年刺激120億美元的直接私人投資。
能源部發(fā)布的《推進美國海上風能》戰(zhàn)略、《美國能源部向30吉瓦及以上的戰(zhàn)略貢獻》概述了能源部將如何支持政府能源政策的方法，加速部署海上風能，以支持到2035年實現(xiàn)無碳電力行業(yè)。
美國能源部長Jennifer M. Granholm表示，海上風能的變革潛力對于實現(xiàn)政府大膽的清潔能源目標至關(guān)重要。正如海上風能戰(zhàn)略所顯示的那樣，能源部正在利用部門的所有資源使用這種清潔可靠的美國能源，這將創(chuàng)造數(shù)以萬計的高薪工作崗位，并振興沿海社區(qū)。
目前，美國有40吉瓦的海上風電處于不同的發(fā)展階段，這表明其有大幅擴張的潛力。
該戰(zhàn)略將美國能源部建設(shè)海上風電的努力分為四階段：
目前：到2030年，將成本從每兆瓦時73美元降低到每兆瓦時51美元，發(fā)展國內(nèi)供應(yīng)鏈，并為可持續(xù)、公平的固定海底風電部署提供信息。
未來：實現(xiàn)到2035年將成本降低70%以上至45美元/兆瓦時的浮動海上風電目標，建立美國在浮式海上風電設(shè)計和制造方面的領(lǐng)導地位，并為浮動海上風電的可持續(xù)、公開部署信息。
連接：為大規(guī)模海上風電部署提供可靠且有彈性的輸電解決方案。
轉(zhuǎn)型：擴大海上風力發(fā)電技術(shù)，實現(xiàn)廣泛的電氣化和脫碳。
能源部表示，這四階段共同尋求以經(jīng)濟、公正和環(huán)境可持續(xù)的方式支持海上風電開發(fā)。

USA Releases Strategy to Deploy 110+ GW of Offshore Wind by 2050
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released its Offshore Wind Energy Strategy, a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive summary of the Department’s efforts to meet the goal to deploy 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030 and set the nation on a pathway to 110 GW or more by 2050.
Deploying 30 GW of offshore wind would provide enough power for 10 million homes, support 77,000 jobs, and spur USD 12 billion per year in direct private investment.
The Department-wide strategy, Advancing Offshore Wind Energy in the United States, U.S. Department of Energy Strategic Contributions Toward 30 Gigawatts and Beyond, outlines how DOE will support the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government approach to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind in support of achieving a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035.
”The transformative potential of offshore wind energy is critical to achieving President Biden’s bold clean energy goals,” said US Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
”As our Offshore Wind Energy Strategy shows, we’re leveraging all resources across our department to harness this clean and reliable American energy source, which will create tens of thousands of good-paying, union jobs and revitalize coastal communities.”
There are currently 40 GW of offshore wind in various stages of development in the USA, which suggests the potential for substantial expansion.
The strategy categorizes DOE’s offshore wind efforts into four pillars:
NOW: Lower costs from USD 73 per megawatt-hour (MWh) to USD 51 per MWh by 2030, develop a domestic supply chain, and inform sustainable, just deployment of fixed-bottom offshore wind.
FORWARD: Achieve the Floating Offshore Wind Shot goal of reducing cost by over 70 per cent to USD 45/MWh by 2035, establish US leadership in floating offshore wind design and manufacturing, and inform sustainable, just deployment of floating offshore wind.
CONNECT: Enable reliable and resilient transmission solutions for large-scale offshore wind deployment.
TRANSFORM: Expand offshore wind co-generation technologies for widespread electrification and decarbonization.
Collectively these four pillars seek to support offshore wind development in a manner that is economic, just, and environmentally sustainable, DOE said.
