挪威能源巨头Equinor宣布将终止其在日本的海上风电业务，并将于年底前关闭其东京办事处。此举标志着Equinor正在调整其非油气战略，以专注于电力市场。

Equinor is ending its offshore wind business activities in Japan and will close its Tokyo office by the end of the year as the Norwegian energy major is realigning its non-oil and gas strategy to focus on power markets.

Equinor上周五表示：“这一决定反映了我们对战略方向的重新评估，我们将更加专注于综合电力市场。”

“This decision reflects a reassessment of Equinor’s strategic direction, with a strengthened focus on integrated power markets,” the Norwegian companysaid on last Friday.

Equinor还表示，尽管将结束在日本的业务，但日本仍将是其重要的市场。Equinor将继续投资于与日本企业在技术开发、大宗商品、资本市场以及整个供应链领域的长期合作关系。

While Equinor is ending its Japanese presence, Japan will remain an important country for Equinor, which will continue to invest in its longstanding relationships with Japanese companies in technology development, commodities, capital markets, and across the supply chain, said the Norwegian firm.

Equinor曾在2010年代末期雄心勃勃地进军海上风电市场，并于2018年正式进入日本海上风电市场。2020年，Equinor与日本本土企业Jera和J-Power合作，共同参与了日本海上风电项目的竞标。

Equinor, which had big offshore wind ambitions more at the end of the 2010s, entered the Japanese offshore wind market in 2018. In 2020, Equinorteamed up with local firms Jera and J-Power to jointly bid in Japan’s offshore wind auctions.

然而，Equinor迄今为止在日本的海上风电拍卖中尚未中标任何租赁权。去年，由于市场出现意料之外的变化和日益严峻的挑战，三菱商事放弃了开发三个海上风电项目的计划，给日本海上风电行业带来了沉重打击。

However, Equinor has failed to win any leases in Japan’s auctions to date, while the Japanese offshore wind industry suffered a heavy blow last year after Mitsubishi Corporationdropped plans to develop three offshore wind projects amid unexpected changes and rising challenges in the market.

这家日本公司去年夏天表示，自2021年12月三菱被选为这些项目的运营商以来，海上风电的商业环境“由于供应链紧张、通货膨胀、汇率波动和利率上升等因素，在全球范围内发生了显著变化”。

Since Mitsubishi was selected as the operator of the projects in December 2021, the business environment for offshore wind power “has significantly changed worldwide due to factors such as tight supply chains, inflation, exchange rates, and rising interest rates,” the Japanese firm said last summer.

Equinor方面则在英国、波兰和挪威的海上风电市场积极开展业务，此前该公司已退出包括西班牙、葡萄牙和法国在内的多个其他市场。

Equinor, for its part, is active in the offshore wind markets in the UK, Poland, and Norway, after withdrawing from several other markets including Spain, Portugal, and France.

在本月初举行的2026年资本市场日上，Equinor表示，公司正将其电力增长目标集中在能够与更广泛的能源产品组合相整合的特定市场和细分领域。

At the Capital Markets Day 2026 earlier this month, Equinorsaid it is concentrating its power growth ambitions in selected markets and segments, where integration with a broader energy offering is achievable.

打造具有竞争力的综合电力业务是Equinor 最新战略的关键支柱，其他支柱还包括最大限度地提高挪威近海油气产量、发展国际油气业务，以及通过交易和市场优化创造更多价值。

Building a competitive integrated power business is a key pillar of Equinor’s latest strategy, alongside maximizing production of oil and gas offshore Norway, growing its international oil and gas business, and creating additional value through trading and market optimization.

• XIN观察：

Equinor宣布退出日本海上风电市场，并将于年底关闭东京办公室。由于日本海上风电项目长期未能中标、开发成本持续上升，公司决定调整战略，将资源集中投向英国、波兰、挪威等回报更高、协同效应更强的重点市场。
