Eni (E) Forms JV With Red Rock to Bid in ScotWind Leasing
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eni SPA (E - Free Report) recently announced that it has joined forces with Scottish offshore wind energy developer Red Rock PowerLimited, creating a 50-50 joint venture (JV). The JV partnership is expected to make a bid in the upcoming offshore wind leasing round in Scotland.
The JV is expected to have the support of transmission company, Transmission Investment, in making a bid in the upcoming round, named ScotWind. Transmission Investment’s experience in grid infrastructure is expected to enrich the JV’s ability to maximize its potential in generating wind power in Scotland, which will likely expand the local electricity sector.
In a similar move, France’s energy major TotalEnergies SE (TTE - Free Report) joined a consortium called Offshore Wind Power Ltd last month to make a bid in ScotWind. Scotland has permitted an offshore capacity of 5.6 gigawatts at the moment, of which 1 gigawatt is only operational. It has plans to boost offshore wind power capacity to around 11 gigawatts by 2030. The last date for submitting bids is Jul 16.
The move from Eni is expected to boost the renewables portfolio and is in line with its ultimate target of having 60 gigawatts of installed capacity by 2050. By this time period, it plans to become a carbon neutral company. It is expected to reach the ambitious goal of installing 4 gigawatts of capacity in 2024 and 15 gigawatts in 2030.
