特朗普政府与德国能源公司RWE达成12亿美元协议，该公司将放弃其在美国的离岸风电项目租赁权[1]。根据内政部的这项协议，RWE同意放弃在加州、路易斯安那州和纽约Bight海域的离岸风电项目[1]。
作为交换，RWE将获得12亿美元赔付[1]，并计划将其中9亿美元投入路易斯安那州的液化天然气出口终端项目[1]。内政部长Doug Burgum在声明中表示，"美国人应该拥有建立在常识基础上的能源体系，而不是依赖'高成本补贴'"[1]。RWE还承诺未来六年在美国投资约19.6亿美元[1]。
这是特朗普政府今年推行支持化石燃料政策的最新举措[1]。类似的协议已陆续达成：2026年3月，内政部与TotalEnergies达成协议，该公司同意放弃离岸风电项目，转向在德克萨斯州建设液化天然气工厂[1]；特朗普政府上月与Duke Energy签署129亿美元协议，交换该公司放弃卡罗来纳海湾地区离岸风电租赁权[1]。
The Trump administration's Department of Interior has reached a $1.2 billion agreement with German energy company RWE to terminate its offshore wind development initiatives in the United States [1]. Under the deal, RWE will relinquish lease rights for offshore wind projects in California, Louisiana, and the New York Bight region [1]. In exchange for this withdrawal, the company will redirect its investments toward fossil fuel infrastructure, committing $900 million to a liquefied natural gas export terminal project in Louisiana [1].
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum defended the arrangement, stating that "Americans deserve an energy system built on common sense, not reliant on costly subsidies" [1]. The agreement represents part of the administration's broader energy strategy, which aligns with its campaign slogan "drill, baby, drill" [1]. RWE intends to invest approximately $19.6 billion in the United States over the next six years [1]. This deal follows similar arrangements the Trump administration concluded with other energy companies: in March 2026, TotalEnergies agreed to abandon offshore wind projects in exchange for development of an LNG facility in Texas [1], and last month Duke Energy accepted a $12.9 billion agreement to relinquish offshore wind leases in the Carolina Bight region [1].
