| 摘要： | With summer's end, the relentless boosterism behind U.S. offshore wind development received a splash of cold water to the face as developers looked at their financial numbers. Escalating costs for steel and other materials along with interest rates already had European wind turbine manufacturers warning that they were losing money in spring 2022. Then last summer Dominion Wind, developers of the 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, warned that state officials' demand for a power performance guarantee could kill the largest U.S. project. Dominion had estimated its turbines would perform on average at 42% of the maximum nameplate capacity of the wind generators. Dominion appealed the guarantee holding it to that performance and asking for more flexibility. In a Sept. 29 filing with Virginia state officials, Dominion said keeping the guarantee "will prevent the project from moving forward and the company will be forced to terminate all development and construction activities."
