Oil and Gas Industry Expresses Concerns Over Labor's Energy Policies, Citing Investment Chill

石油和天然气行业对工党能源政策表示担忧，理由是投资冷淡

London-based industry body Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) has raised concerns over the potential impact of the Labour party's proposed energy policies on the United Kingdom's oil and gas sector. OEUK's marketing intelligence manager, Ross Dornan, highlighted the industry's challenges with licensing and taxation, emphasizing the uncertainty surrounding future licensing policies and the prospect of tax increases under a Labour government.

总部位于伦敦的行业机构英国离岸能源公司（OEUK）对工党拟议的能源政策对英国石油和天然气行业的潜在影响表示担忧。 OEUK 的营销情报经理 Ross Dornan 强调了该行业在许可和税收方面面临的挑战，强调了未来许可政策的不确定性以及工党政府下税收增加的前景。

Dornan emphasized that the industry faces a complex investment environment due to multiple challenges, including the potential for changes in taxation and labor policy. He expressed particular concern over Labour's pledges to retain and expand the windfall tax, which he believes would make the UK "uninvestable" from several perspectives.

多南强调，由于税收和劳工政策可能发生变化等多重挑战，该行业面临着复杂的投资环境。他对工党保留和扩大暴利税的承诺表示特别担忧，他认为这将从多个角度使英国“无法投资”。

In a report released by OEUK, the industry body estimated potential investments in the energy sector of up to £450 billion by 2040. However, OEUK's chief executive, David Whitehouse, stressed that investors require stability, predictability, and fair returns to drive these investments. Whitehouse emphasized the need for supportive long-term policies, a stable tax regime, and responsible rhetoric to foster investment in the energy sector.

在OEUK发布的一份报告中，该行业机构估计到2040年能源领域的潜在投资将高达4500亿英镑。然而，OEUK首席执行官David Whitehouse强调，投资者需要稳定性、可预测性和公平回报来推动这些投资。白宫强调需要采取长期支持性政策、稳定的税收制度和负责任的言论来促进能源行业的投资。

The industry body's concerns come amidst a global race for investment, with Whitehouse highlighting the importance of making the most of the UK's oil and gas production, which is currently at record lows. He emphasized the potential for the UK to become reliant on imported energy and outsourcing supply chain companies due to a lack of appropriate domestic investment.

该行业机构的担忧来自全球投资竞赛，白宫强调充分利用英国石油和天然气产量的重要性，目前英国石油和天然气产量正处于历史低位。他强调，由于缺乏适当的国内投资，英国有可能变得依赖进口能源和外包供应链公司。

OEUK has engaged in emergency meetings with Labour representatives in recent months to convey industry concerns regarding Labour's policy proposals. Dornan reiterated the industry's need for "stability, predictability, and competitiveness across the board."

近几个月来，OEUK 与工党代表举行了紧急会议，以传达业界对工党政策提案的担忧。多南重申该行业需要“全面的稳定性、可预测性和竞争力”。

Meanwhile, a Labour spokesperson defended the party's energy policies, stating that the current Conservative government has failed to meet its clean power targets and has hindered investment in renewable energy. Labour outlined its plans to increase the rate of the windfall tax and eliminate investment allowances, maintaining that these changes would be proportionate and fair while generating revenue for the government.

与此同时，工党发言人为该党的能源政策进行了辩护，称现任保守党政府未能实现其清洁电力目标，并阻碍了对可再生能源的投资。工党概述了提高暴利税税率和取消投资补贴的计划，并坚称这些变化在为政府创造收入的同时是相称和公平的。

The Labour party emphasized its intention to work with the industry to support its ambitions for the UK's energy sector and create jobs. Labour's "GB Energy" plan aims to reduce energy bills and foster job creation.

工党强调其有意与该行业合作，支持其对英国能源行业的雄心并创造就业机会。工党的“GB Energy”计划旨在减少能源费用并促进创造就业机会。

In response, Energy Security Secretary Claire Coutinho criticized Labour's energy policies, stating that they would undermine the UK's energy security and result in job losses and reduced investment. Coutinho highlighted Labour's unfunded spending promises and questioned their ability to pay for their proposed policies.

对此，能源安全大臣克莱尔·库蒂尼奥批评工党的能源政策，称这些政策将破坏英国的能源安全，导致失业和投资减少。库蒂尼奥强调了工党无资金支持的支出承诺，并质疑他们是否有能力支付拟议政策。

Coutinho asserted that only the Conservative government has a pragmatic and responsible plan to achieve net zero emissions while supporting economic growth. The government's plan emphasizes sticking to established goals and avoiding unnecessary financial burdens on families.

库蒂尼奥断言，只有保守党政府才有务实、负责任的计划，在支持经济增长的同时实现净零排放。政府的计划强调坚持既定目标，避免给家庭带来不必要的经济负担。
