阿曼石油太阳能发电厂投营

据石油和天然气管道新闻网6月1日消息，阿曼石油开发公司(PDO)宣布，它已经开始在阿曼运营100兆瓦的Amin光伏发电站，该电站将为其部分业务提供电力。

独立发电商(IPP)可再生能源项目位于塞拉莱东北300公里处的Nimr附近。该项目耗资9400万美元，占地面积4平方公里，发电量可达100兆瓦。

它是世界上第一个由石油和天然气公司作为电力唯一买家的公用事业规模的太阳能项目。

PDO董事总经理Raoul Restucci表示：“阿曼的太阳能项目提供了一个有吸引力的平台，使更低碳和可持续的未来成为可能，这个旗舰项目是支持PDO继续转型为一个成熟能源公司的另一个基石。Amin电厂是阿曼在可再生能源方面具有突出潜力的一个绝佳典范。”

他补充说道：“事实上，我们期望在逐步增加使用可再生资源的计划方面继续取得进展，目前我们正在评估一系列令人兴奋的机会，包括在我们南部地区安装风力发电设施。”

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.”
