Shell Sells Wind-Project Stake
July 22, 2008; Page B8
The U.K. arm of German utility E.On AG and Denmark-based DONG Energy said they bought Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s stake in the U.K.’s London Array offshore wind project for an undisclosed sum, giving each company a half share in the project. Paul Golby, chief executive of E.On U.K., said the first phase of the project is on track to begin operation in 2012, subject to securing a number of important contracts, such as those for the wind turbines.
Before the deal, the three companies each held a one-third stake in the project. “We’re pleased that, together with DONG Energy, we’ve been able to secure the future of the project,” he said.
The announcement could help to boost confidence in the U.K. offshore wind sector, which is more costly and riskier than onshore wind and took a battering after Shell said in May that it was pulling out to invest in U.S. onshore wind instead.
The U.K. is counting on offshore wind to provide the bulk of the power needed to help meet a binding European Union target to get 15% of the country’s total energy from renewable sources by 2020.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
