  • Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) remains on budget and on schedule with construction expected to conclude in late 2026
  • DEME Group's heavy lift vessel, the Orion, erects the first of 176 monopile foundations
  • 弗吉尼亚沿海海上风电(CVOW)仍在预算内按计划进行,施工预计将于2026年底结束
  • DEME 集团的重型起重船 Orion 建造了 176 个单桩地基中的第一座

RICHMOND, Va., May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy announced today the first monopile foundation for the 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW), the largest offshore wind farm under construction in the United States, was installed approximately 29 miles off the Virginia Beach coast. The monopile was installed by the Orion, DEME Group's heavy lift vessel.

弗吉尼亚州里士满,2024 年 5 月 22 日/PRNewswire/— Dominion Energy今天宣布,美国最大的在建海上风电场2.6千兆瓦的弗吉尼亚海岸海上风电场(CVOW)的第一个单桩基础已安装在距离弗吉尼亚海滩海岸约29英里处。单桩是由安装的 猎户座,DEME 集团的重型起重船。

Once complete in late 2026, CVOW will consist of 176 turbines that will generate enough clean, renewable energy to power up to 660,000 homes and is expected to generate fuel savings of $3 billion for customers during the first 10 years of operation.

一旦在2026年底完工,CVOW将由176台涡轮机组成,这些涡轮机将产生足够的清洁可再生能源,为多达66万户家庭供电,预计在运营的前10年内将为客户节省30亿美元的燃料。

"This is a monumental day for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind team, who have worked tirelessly to keep this project on budget and on schedule to provide our customers with reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy," said Robert M. Blue, Dominion Energy's chair, president and chief executive officer. "We are taking extensive precautions to ensure this project is fully protective of the environment and to protect marine species."

Dominion Energy主席、总裁兼首席执行官Robert M. Blue表示:“对于弗吉尼亚海岸海上风电团队来说,这是具有里程碑意义的一天,他们孜孜不倦地努力使该项目按预算和计划进行,为我们的客户提供可靠、负担得起且越来越清洁的能源。”“我们正在采取广泛的预防措施,确保该项目完全保护环境并保护海洋物种。”

"We are proud to partner with Dominion Energy on this landmark project," said Bill White, President DEME Offshore US. "DEME's Orion vessel, equipped with industry-leading Vibro Hammer technology, is uniquely designed to efficiently install CVOW's massive monopiles, all weighing over 1,000 tons. Our talented project team will include skilled American union pile drivers, creating a robust and prepared workforce. We look forward to working with our consortium partner Prysmian to help deliver Virginia-made energy to the Commonwealth.

美国DEME Offshore总裁比尔·怀特表示:“我们很荣幸能与Dominion Energy合作开展这个具有里程碑意义的项目。”“DEME 的猎户座船配备了行业领先的 Vibro Hammer 技术,经过独特设计,可高效安装CVOW的大型单桩,其重量均超过1,000吨。我们才华横溢的项目团队将包括熟练的美国工会打桩机,打造一支强大而准备就绪的员工队伍。我们期待与我们的联盟合作伙伴普睿司曼合作,帮助向联邦提供弗吉尼亚制造的能源。

The monopile foundations, which are being staged at Portsmouth Marine Terminal, are single vertical, steel cylinders manufactured by global leader EEW SPC and are being installed into the sea floor to support the wind turbine generators. Consistent with the project construction schedule, Dominion Energy will continue to install monopiles through the fall of 2024 and resume installations in May 2025.

单桩地基正在朴茨茅斯海运码头施工,是由全球领导者EEW SPC制造的单一垂直钢制气缸,正在安装在海底以支撑风力涡轮发电机。根据项目施工进度,道明能源将在2024年秋季之前继续安装单电堆,并于2025年5月恢复安装。

To be protective of the endangered North Atlantic right whale, no monopiles will be installed between November 1 and April 30, the time that the whales are expected to be migrating past the project area. Additional measures to protect whales and other aquatic life include the use of bubble curtains – perforated hoses that have air pumped through them – to create a wall of bubbles around the monopiles during installation to reduce soundwaves underwater. Vessels will also be staffed by Protected Species Observers and will adhere to speed restrictions to avoid collisions with protected species.

为了保护濒临灭绝的北大西洋露脊鲸,在11月1日至4月30日之间,预计鲸鱼将迁移过项目区域,不会安装任何单桩。保护鲸鱼和其他水生生物的其他措施包括在安装过程中使用气泡帘(空气泵过气的穿孔软管)在单桩周围形成气泡墙,以减少水下声波。船只还将配备受保护物种观察员,并将遵守速度限制,以避免与受保护物种发生碰撞。

Offshore wind's economic development and jobs benefits are transformative for Hampton Roads and the Commonwealth. More than 800 Virginia-based workers – nearly 670 in the Hampton Roads region – have been engaged on the CVOW project or with other businesses supporting CVOW. This work includes redevelopment activities at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal, construction of the offshore wind Monitoring and Coordination Center, maritime provisioning, ship upkeep, heavy lift and rigging, cyber security, food service and hospitality. More than 1,000 local jobs will be needed to support ongoing operations and maintenance of this facility after the project begins commercial operation.

海上风电的经济发展和就业福利对汉普顿路和英联邦来说是变革性的。超过800名弗吉尼亚州的员工(汉普顿路地区的近670人)参与了CVOW项目或其他支持CVOW的企业。这项工作包括朴茨茅斯海运码头的重建活动、海上风能监测和协调中心的建造、海上供应、船舶维护、重型起重和索具、网络安全、餐饮服务和酒店业。项目开始商业运营后,将需要超过1,000个当地工作岗位来支持该设施的持续运营和维护。
