阿曼石油太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電廠投營(yíng)

據(jù)石油和天然氣管道新聞網(wǎng)6月1日消息，阿曼石油開發(fā)公司(PDO)宣布，它已經(jīng)開始在阿曼運(yùn)營(yíng)100兆瓦的Amin光伏發(fā)電站，該電站將為其部分業(yè)務(wù)提供電力。

獨(dú)立發(fā)電商(IPP)可再生能源項(xiàng)目位于塞拉萊東北300公里處的Nimr附近。該項(xiàng)目耗資9400萬(wàn)美元，占地面積4平方公里，發(fā)電量可達(dá)100兆瓦。

它是世界上第一個(gè)由石油和天然氣公司作為電力唯一買家的公用事業(yè)規(guī)模的太陽(yáng)能項(xiàng)目。

PDO董事總經(jīng)理Raoul Restucci表示：“阿曼的太陽(yáng)能項(xiàng)目提供了一個(gè)有吸引力的平臺(tái)，使更低碳和可持續(xù)的未來成為可能，這個(gè)旗艦項(xiàng)目是支持PDO繼續(xù)轉(zhuǎn)型為一個(gè)成熟能源公司的另一個(gè)基石。Amin電廠是阿曼在可再生能源方面具有突出潛力的一個(gè)絕佳典范。”

他補(bǔ)充說道：“事實(shí)上，我們期望在逐步增加使用可再生資源的計(jì)劃方面繼續(xù)取得進(jìn)展，目前我們正在評(píng)估一系列令人興奮的機(jī)會(huì)，包括在我們南部地區(qū)安裝風(fēng)力發(fā)電設(shè)施。”

PDO begins operations at solar power plant

Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has announced that it has begun operations of the 100-megawatt Amin Photovoltaic Power Plant in Oman that will power some of its operations.

The Independent Power Producer (IPP) renewable energy project is located near Nimr which lies 300km north east of Salalah. The US$94 million facility covers an area of 4km2 and produces up to 100 megawatts of electricity.

It is one of the world's first utility scale solar projects to have an oil and gas company as the sole buyer of electricity.

PDO managing director Raoul Restucci said: “Solar intensity in Oman provides an attractive platform to enable a lower carbon and more sustainable future and this flagship project is another building block in support of PDO’s continued transition to a fully-fledged energy company. The Amin power plant represents an excellent example of Oman's outstanding potential in renewable energy.

He added: “Indeed, we look forward to continuing to make further progress in our plans to gradually increase the utilisation of renewable resources in our activities and are currently in the process of evaluating a number of exciting opportunities including wind power installations in our southern locations.”
