The concept was based on a ready-to-operate wind farm that would be economically viable well before 2030. Equinor launched the project in June 2022 together with partners Petoro, TotalEnergies, Shell and ConocoPhillips.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Demolition<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The reasons for this decision are the challenges facing the project and the entire offshore wind industry. Essentially, it is the technology, which is not yet available in the short term, the ambitious timetable and the significantly rising costs that are diverging like scissors. In short - it involves too many realisation risks and is therefore not yet worthwhile.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">View<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Trollvind was a bold plan to solve the problem of energy supply to oil and gas production facilities. However, Equinor reaffirms its ambition to play a leading role in the development of an offshore wind industry in Norway and beyond. The knowledge and experience gained from the work on Trollvind will be utilised for the development of floating offshore wind turbines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Source: gCaptain<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Das norwegische Energieunternehmen Equinor hat die Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr einen gro\u00dfen schwimmenden Offshore-Windpark in der norwegischen Nordsee auf H\u00f6he Bergen gestoppt und auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben.
