BP and Equinor have closed the transaction for BP’s acquisition of a 50 per cent interest in the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects off the U.S. east coast. The closing of the transaction marks BP’s official entry into offshore wind. Equinor and BP announced in September 2020 that BP was buying 50 per cent non-operated interests in Empire Wind and Beacon Wind and that they were establishing a strategic partnership, which would see the two companies together pursuing further growth in the U.S. offshore wind market. “This transaction is the first step in the strategic partnership in offshore wind where Equinor and bp are combining strengths to enable profitable growth in offshore wind in the US. Equinor will remain the operator of the projects in these leases through the development, construction and operations phases, and the wind farms will be equally staffed in operations”, Equinor said. On 13 January, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) selected the partnership between Equinor and BP as the winner of the state’s second offshore wind solicitation. Under the award, the companies will develop the 1,260 MW Empire Wind 2 and the 1,230 MW Beacon Wind 1 offshore wind projects and will also partner with the State of New York to transform the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) and the Port of Albany into large-scale offshore wind working industrial facilities.
