德国能源公司RWE与美国内政部达成12亿美元协议，同意放弃其在加州、路易斯安那州和纽约海湾的离岸风电项目租赁权[1]。根据协议，RWE将获得补偿金，并承诺重新投资这笔资金用于美国的传统能源产业[1]。
RWE计划在路易斯安那州液化天然气出口终端项目投资9亿美元，并在未来6年内在美国投资约170亿欧元[1]。内政部长道格·伯格姆表示，"美国人应该拥有建立在常识基础上的能源系统，而不是依赖于'昂贵补贴'的系统"[1]。
这笔交易反映了特朗普政府的能源政策转向，其中对化石燃料的支持成为核心[1]。类似的协议并非孤立案例。2024年3月，内政部与法国道达尔能源公司达成协议，该公司同样放弃了美国离岸风电项目[1]。2025年7月，特朗普政府与杜克能源公司签署1290亿美元协议，换取其放弃卡罗来纳长湾地区的离岸风电租赁权[1]。特朗普竞选时承诺为"开采、开采、再开采"，并多次抨击风能为"丑陋的风车"且对野生动物有危险[1]。
The Trump administration has reached a $1.2 billion agreement with German energy company RWE to abandon its offshore wind development projects in US waters [1]. Under the deal brokered by the Department of Interior, RWE will surrender its leasing rights for offshore wind farms in California, Louisiana, and New York Bay [1]. In exchange, the company has committed to reinvesting the compensation into fossil fuel infrastructure, including a $900 million project to develop a liquefied natural gas export terminal in Louisiana [1].
RWE plans to invest approximately $196 billion over the next six years across the United States as part of its revised investment strategy [1]. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated that "Americans should have an energy system built on common sense, not reliance on expensive subsidies" [1]. This settlement reflects the broader energy policy shift under the current administration, which has actively moved to block offshore wind initiatives while promoting conventional fossil fuel development. The administration previously negotiated similar arrangements, including a March 2024 agreement with French energy firm TotalEnergies to exit US offshore wind projects and a July 2025 accord with Duke Energy valued at $129 billion in exchange for relinquishing offshore wind leasing rights in the Carolinas [1].
