AES：未來5年全球太陽能發(fā)電投資高達(dá)6130億美元

據(jù)世界能源新聞2020年7月30日休斯敦報道， 美國最大的獨(dú)立供電商愛依斯電力公司（AES）7月30日估計，2021年至2025年，全球?qū)⒂卸噙_(dá)6130億美元投資于新的太陽能發(fā)電。

總部位于弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓市的AES在14個國家提供電力。AES是在宣布對一家澳大利亞太陽能技術(shù)公司5B進(jìn)行50億澳元的“戰(zhàn)略投資”時給出上述估計的。

AES表示，5B和這家總部位于悉尼的公司的Maverick技術(shù)將使客戶能夠“以3倍的速度更快增加太陽能資源，同時在相同面積的傳統(tǒng)太陽能設(shè)施上提供兩倍多的能源?！?/span>

5B將Maverick技術(shù)描述為“世界上第一個預(yù)制的、低成本的、100%便攜式的太陽能電池陣?！?/span>

7月30日，AES總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官Andres Gluski在一份公司聲明中表示：“與傳統(tǒng)太陽能相比，使用5B技術(shù)的太陽能項(xiàng)目只需要三分之一的時間。”

2017年，AES收購了美國一家公用事業(yè)規(guī)模的太陽能開發(fā)商sPower。這筆8.53億美元的收購使AES獲得了1274兆瓦的公用事業(yè)規(guī)模的太陽能發(fā)電能力，以及處于不同開發(fā)階段的10吉瓦的項(xiàng)目投資組合。

AES隨后在2018年與西門子建立了合資伙伴關(guān)系，組建了一家名為Fluence的新公司，后者據(jù)悉隨后建造或承包了2.1吉瓦的電池存儲能力項(xiàng)目。

AES是全球快速增長的太陽能和太陽能儲存市場中最活躍的開發(fā)商之一。

今年6月，AES被夏威夷電力公司選中，在瓦胡島上開發(fā)和運(yùn)營兩個新的公用事業(yè)規(guī)模的太陽能+儲存設(shè)施。其中一個項(xiàng)目是19.5兆瓦的太陽能光伏電站，具有35兆瓦時的太陽能儲存能力，另一個項(xiàng)目是60兆瓦的設(shè)施，具有240兆瓦時的電池能源儲存系統(tǒng)。

AES estimates $613 billion in global investments in solar generation between 2021-25

Houston — As much as $613 billion could be invested globally in new solar generation between 2021 and 2025, AES

Corporation estimated July 30.

The Arlington, Virginia-based company, which provides power in 14 countries, gave its estimate while announcing a

"strategic investment" in an Australian solar technology firm, 5B.

AES said that 5B, and the Sydney-based company's Maverick technology, will enable customers to "add solar resources at a

pace that is three times faster while providing up to two times more energy within the same footprint of traditional

solar facilities."

5B has described Maverick as "the world's first solar array that is pre-fabricated, low-cost and 100% portable."

"A [solar] project using 5B's technology can be built in a third of the time when compared with conventional solar," said

Andres Gluski, President and CEO of AES in a statement released July 30.

In 2017, AES acquired sPower, a US-based utility-scale solar developer. The $853 million acquisition gave AES an

additional 1,274 MW of utility-scale solar capacity, and a portfolio of 10 GW of projects in various stages of

development.

AES followed that acquisition with a joint venture partnership with Siemens in 2018. The resulting new company called

Fluence has subsequently reported building or contracting for 2.1 GW of battery st orage capacity

AES is among the most active developers in the fast growing solar plus storage market.

In June, AES was selected by Hawaiian Electric Companies to develop and operate two new utility-scale solar-plus-storage

facilities on Oahu.

One project is a 19.5-MW solar PV facility with 35 MWh of storage attached, the other a 60-MW facility with a 240 MWh

battery energy storage system.
