Equinor CEO Calls White House Offshore Wind Discussion 'Useful'

Equinor has described the recent conversation regarding offshore wind energy at the White House as beneficial, according to Dagens Næringsliv. CEO Anders Opedal engaged in discussions with an economic advisor to President Donald Trump about the company's offshore wind project in New York, which has been put on hold following an announcement from the administration during the Easter period. Despite the dialogue, Opedal indicated that there is still no resolution to the ongoing challenges facing the project. This initiative, which is already underway, aims to provide electricity to 500,000 homes in New York. If halted, Equinor could face significant financial losses, estimated at around $50 billion.
