沙特首個(gè)可再生能源發(fā)電廠落成

據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)4月9日利雅得報(bào)道，沙特阿拉伯王儲(chǔ)穆罕默德·本·薩勒曼（Mohammed bin Salman）為該國(guó)首個(gè)可再生能源項(xiàng)目——Sakaka IPP 光伏電廠舉行了落成典禮。

據(jù)沙特官方通訊社(SPA)援引王儲(chǔ)的話稱，周四在Al-Jouf地區(qū)西北部啟動(dòng)的Sakaka電廠的發(fā)電量為300兆瓦，標(biāo)志著“沙特利用可再生能源的第一步”。

新華社援引SPA報(bào)道稱，開(kāi)幕式還見(jiàn)證了與12家沙特和國(guó)際公司在多個(gè)地區(qū)簽署了其他7個(gè)可再生能源項(xiàng)目的電力購(gòu)買(mǎi)協(xié)議。

新項(xiàng)目位于麥地那（Al Madinah）、蘇代爾（Sudair）、庫(kù)拉伊特（Qurayyat）、舒伊巴（Shuaibah）、吉達(dá)（Jeddah）、拉貝（Rabigh）和拉法（Rafha）。

據(jù)能源部長(zhǎng)阿卜杜勒阿齊茲·本·薩勒曼表示，除了Sakaka電廠和Doumat Al Jandal風(fēng)能項(xiàng)目?jī)蓚€(gè)項(xiàng)目外，這些項(xiàng)目的總發(fā)電量為3670兆瓦。它們將為60多萬(wàn)戶家庭提供電力，減少700多萬(wàn)噸溫室氣體的排放。

部長(zhǎng)肯定了私營(yíng)部門(mén)在沙特可再生能源部門(mén)中的作用，該部門(mén)旨在減少在發(fā)電中使用液體燃料，并優(yōu)化國(guó)家能源結(jié)構(gòu)。

據(jù)SPA報(bào)告稱，這些項(xiàng)目是實(shí)現(xiàn)氣候變化目標(biāo)、尋找更可持續(xù)、成本更低的能源系統(tǒng)的有效途徑。

該報(bào)告補(bǔ)充道，這些項(xiàng)目還旨在為可再生能源創(chuàng)造一個(gè)具有全國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的市場(chǎng)，這將增加一個(gè)新的可再生能源技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)誕生的機(jī)會(huì)。

Saudi inaugurates first renewable energy power plant

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has inaugurated the Sakaka IPP PV power plant, the country's first renewable energy project.

The launch of the Sakaka plant on Thursday, with an output capacity of 300 MW, in northwestern Al-Jouf region represents the kingdom's "first steps to utilize renewable energy in the Kingdom" the Crown Prince was quoted as saying by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The opening also witnessed the signing of power purchase agreements for seven other renewable energy projects in a number of regions with 12 Saudi and international companies, Xinhua news agency quoted the SPA report as saying.

The new projects are in Al Madinah, Sudair, Qurayyat, Shuaibah, Jeddah, Rabigh, and Rafha.

The total capacity of these projects, in addition to the two projects of Sakaka plant and Doumat Al Jandal wind energy project, is 3,670 MW, energy minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said.

They will power more than 600,000 households and reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by more than 7 million tonnes, he added.

The minister affirmed the role of the private sector in the kingdom's renewable energy sector that aims to reduce the use of liquid fuel in electricity generation and to optimize the national energy mix.

The projects are an effective approach to achieve the climate change goal and find more sustainable and less costly energy systems, said the SPA report.

The projects also aim to create a nationally competitive market for renewable energy, which would enhance the chances of the inception of a new renewable energy technology industry, it added.
