阿聯(lián)酋航空公司將建造全球最大太陽能發(fā)電廠

據(jù)阿納多盧新聞7月30日消息稱，根據(jù)阿布扎比阿聯(lián)酋航空水電公司（EWEC）最近的一份聲明，該公司與財(cái)團(tuán)簽署了一項(xiàng)購電協(xié)議，將在阿聯(lián)酋建設(shè)世界上最大的太陽能發(fā)電廠。

該財(cái)團(tuán)將由阿布扎比國家能源公司(TAQA)和馬斯達(dá)爾牽頭，合作伙伴為EDF和JinkoPower。

該太陽能發(fā)電廠位于距離阿布扎比約35公里的Al Dhafra地區(qū)，建成后將擁有2吉瓦的發(fā)電能力。

該工廠還預(yù)計(jì)將減少阿布扎比每年超過240萬噸的二氧化碳排放，相當(dāng)于減少約47萬輛汽車。

EWEC首席執(zhí)行官Othman Al Ali在聲明中說：“我們正在努力確保長期的能源供應(yīng)，并加強(qiáng)太陽能在滿足當(dāng)前和未來能源需求方面的不可或缺的作用?！?/span>

該聲明稱，該電廠將于2022年上半年開始發(fā)電，到2022年下半年實(shí)現(xiàn)全發(fā)電。

TAQA董事總經(jīng)理Jasim Husain Thabet表示，該工廠將把阿布扎比的太陽能發(fā)電能力提高到約3.2吉瓦，并強(qiáng)調(diào)該項(xiàng)目的低電價(jià)將有助于實(shí)現(xiàn)阿聯(lián)酋《2050年能源戰(zhàn)略》中概述的雄心勃勃的能源目標(biāo)。

Al Dhafra太陽能光伏項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)將為阿聯(lián)酋的約160000個(gè)家庭提供電力。它的規(guī)模將超過TAQA現(xiàn)有的1.2吉瓦阿布扎比努爾太陽能發(fā)電廠，該發(fā)電廠目前是全球最大的可運(yùn)營單項(xiàng)目太陽能光伏發(fā)電廠。

Emirates company to build world’s largest solar plant

The Abu Dhabi-based Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) signed a power purchase agreement with a consortium for the construction of the world’s largest solar power plant located in the United Arab Emirates, according to a recent statement by the company.

The consortium will be led by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Masdar, with partners EDF and JinkoPower.

Upon completion, the solar power plant will have a capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW) in the Al Dhafra region located approximately 35 kilometers from Abu Dhabi.

The plant is also expected to reduce Abu Dhabi’s CO2 emissions by more than 2.4 million metric tonnes per year, equivalent to removing approximately 470,000 cars from the road.

"We are working to secure long-term energy supply and reinforce solar power’s integral role in meeting current and future energy needs," Othman Al Ali, chief executive officer of EWEC, was quoted as saying in the statement.

The power plant will begin initial power generation in the first half of 2022 and full generation by the second half of 2022, the statement read.

Jasim Husain Thabet, managing director of ?TAQA, said the plant would increase Abu Dhabi’s solar power capacity to approximately 3.2 GW and stressed the project’s low tariff which would help meet the UAE's ambitious energy objectives outlined in its Energy Strategy 2050.

The Al Dhafra Solar PV project is expected to provide approximately 160,000 households across the UAE with electricity. It will be larger than TAQA’s existing 1.2 GW Noor Abu Dhabi solar plant, which is currently the world’s largest operational single-project solar PV plant.
