    Big Oil Replaces Rigs With Wind Turbines

    Jess Shankleman, March 22, 2017 (Bloomberg News)

    “…Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Statoil ASA and Eni SpA are moving into multi-billion-dollar offshore wind farms in the North Sea and beyond. They’re starting to score victories against leading power suppliers including Dong Energy A/S and Vattenfall AB in competitive auctions for power purchase contracts…[The multinational oil giants have] spent decades building oil projects offshore, and that business is winding down in some areas where older fields have drained. Returns from wind farms are predictable and underpinned by government-regulated electricity prices. And fossil fuel executives want to get a piece of the clean-energy business as forecasts emerge that renewables will eat into their market…About $99 billion will be invested in North Sea wind projects from 2000 to 2017…Current [ocean wind] projects entering operation are delivering power at about half the price of farms finished in 2012...[and costs] could fall another 26 percent by 2035…” click here for more
