  • 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
  • 弗吉尼亞沿海海上風電(CVOW)仍在預算內按計劃進行,施工預計將於2026年底結束
  • DEME 集團的重型起重船 Orion 建造了 176 個單樁地基中的第一座

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.

弗吉尼亞州里士滿,2024 年 5 月 22 日/PRNewswire/— Dominion Energy今天宣佈,美國最大的在建海上風電場2.6千兆瓦的弗吉尼亞海岸海上風電場(CVOW)的第一個單樁基礎已安裝在距離弗吉尼亞海灘海岸約29英里處。單樁是由安裝的 獵戶座,DEME 集團的重型起重船。

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將由176臺渦輪機組成,這些渦輪機將產生足夠的清潔可再生能源,爲多達66萬戶家庭供電,預計在運營的前10年內將爲客戶節省30億美元的燃料。

"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、總裁兼首席執行官Robert M. Blue表示:“對於弗吉尼亞海岸海上風電團隊來說,這是具有里程碑意義的一天,他們孜孜不倦地努力使該項目按預算和計劃進行,爲我們的客戶提供可靠、負擔得起且越來越清潔的能源。”“我們正在採取廣泛的預防措施,確保該項目完全保護環境並保護海洋物種。”

"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.

美國DEME Offshore總裁比爾·懷特表示:“我們很榮幸能與Dominion Energy合作開展這個具有里程碑意義的項目。”“DEME 的獵戶座船配備了行業領先的 Vibro Hammer 技術,經過獨特設計,可高效安裝CVOW的大型單樁,其重量均超過1,000噸。我們才華橫溢的項目團隊將包括熟練的美國工會打樁機,打造一支強大而準備就緒的員工隊伍。我們期待與我們的聯盟合作伙伴普睿司曼合作,幫助向聯邦提供弗吉尼亞製造的能源。

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.

單樁地基正在朴茨茅斯海運碼頭施工,是由全球領導者EEW SPC製造的單一垂直鋼製氣缸,正在安裝在海底以支撐風力渦輪發電機。根據項目施工進度,道明能源將在2024年秋季之前繼續安裝單電堆,並於2025年5月恢復安裝。

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.

爲了保護瀕臨滅絕的北大西洋露脊鯨,在11月1日至4月30日之間,預計鯨魚將遷移過項目區域,不會安裝任何單樁。保護鯨魚和其他水生生物的其他措施包括在安裝過程中使用氣泡簾(空氣泵過氣的穿孔軟管)在單樁周圍形成氣泡牆,以減少水下聲波。船隻還將配備受保護物種觀察員,並將遵守速度限制,以避免與受保護物種發生碰撞。

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.

海上風電的經濟發展和就業福利對漢普頓路和英聯邦來說是變革性的。超過800名弗吉尼亞州的員工(漢普頓路地區的近670人)參與了CVOW項目或其他支持CVOW的企業。這項工作包括朴茨茅斯海運碼頭的重建活動、海上風能監測和協調中心的建造、海上供應、船舶維護、重型起重和索具、網絡安全、餐飲服務和酒店業。項目開始商業運營後,將需要超過1,000個當地工作崗位來支持該設施的持續運營和維護。
