據能源經濟6月2日消息稱，能源巨頭英國石油公司周二加大了對美國可再生能源的投資，以2.2億美元從開發商7X能源公司購買了太陽能項目。

　　這筆資產的產能為 9 吉瓦，標志著 BP 自2017 年收購歐洲最大太陽能開發商Lightsource的股份以來首次獨立投資太陽能領域。

　　BP表示，這些資產將通過其與 Lightsource BP 的對半持股合資企業進行開發。該公司在幾十年前采用了艷陽標志，以表達其在太陽能領域的雄心。

　　BP美國公司董事長Dave Lawler表示:“根據我們的戰略，我們的目標是將這些項目與我們現有的陸上和海上風力、天然氣、貿易和航運業務整合起來，以滿足客戶的需求。”

　　BP表示，收購的項目分布在美國12個州，其中德州和中西部的投資組合最大。

　　作為能源行業最雄心勃勃的戰略之一，BP 計劃到 2030 年將其石油產量削減 40%，并將其可再生能源業務增長 20 倍。

　　BP invests $220 million in U.S. solar development projects

　　Energy major BP Plc on Tuesday boosted its investment in U.S. renewables with a $220 million purchase of solar projects from developer 7X Energy.

　　The deal, for assets with a production capacity of 9 gigawatts, marks BP's first independent investment in solar since buying a stake in Europe's largest solar developer, Lightsource, in 2017.

　　BP, which adopted a sunburst logo decades ago to convey its ambition in solar energy, said the assets will be developed through its 50-50 joint venture with Lightsource BP.

　　"In line with our strategy, we'll aim to integrate these projects with our existing onshore and offshore wind, natural gas, and trading and shipping businesses to give customers what they want," said BP America Chairman Dave Lawler.

　　The projects acquired are spread across 12 U.S. states, with the largest portfolios in Texas and the Midwest, BP said.

　　In one of the energy sector's most ambitious strategies, BP plans to slash its oil output by 40% and boost its renewable power business by 20-fold by 2030.
