OSLO, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Norway's Equinor expects
to book a profit of around $1 billion from its sale of a 50%
stake in two U.S. offshore wind power developments to BP,
a company executive told Reuters on Thursday.
"The capital gain is about $1 billion... It confirms that
our strategy to get early access to the U.S. coast was right and
it created the value," Equinor's head of renewable energy Paal
Eitrheim said in an interview.
While the deal set up an offshore wind partnership between
the two oil majors in the U.S., Equinor would also look for
opportunities to cooperate on offshore wind elsewhere, he added.
