Norway's Equinor is confident of finding an investor for its planned Empire Wind 1 offshore wind farm in New York after a new power off-take agreement improved the project's economics, the company said on Thursday. New York State authorities in February awarded the project a new conditional power purchase contract, replacing a previous deal that was no longer competitive due to rising construction costs, higher interest rates and supply chain snags. Equinor was glad to have received the new contract, which significantly changed the economics of the project, CFO Torgrim Reitan told analysts during an earnings call on Thursday.

The downpour, which lasted for several hours on Wednesday night, destroyed the perimeter fence of the medium-security prison in the neighboring town of Suleja, in Niger state, “giving way to the escape of a total of 118 inmates from the facility,” according to Adamu Duza, a prisons spokesman. The prison service and other agencies have managed to recapture 10 of the escaped inmates while the search is on to find the rest, Duza said.

Hess Corp reported a first-quarter profit on Thursday that beat analysts' estimates, helped by higher production from the oil and gas company that is set to be acquired by U.S. energy major Chevron in a $53 billion deal. Net production at Hess jumped 27.3% to 476,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in the quarter, primarily due to higher production in Guyana and the Bakken oil field in the United States. Hess' lucrative assets in oil-rich Guyana have sparked a major corporate tug-of-war among large North American energy firms.
