據(jù)油價網(wǎng)8月21日報道，據(jù)沙特通訊社報道，包括石油巨頭沙特阿美石油公司和一家由沙特主權(quán)財富基金擁有的公司在內(nèi)的幾家沙特公司宣布，沙特阿拉伯一個價值23.7億美元的大型太陽能項(xiàng)目的財務(wù)結(jié)算。

沙特阿美電力公司(SAPCO)是世界最大的石油公司沙特阿美的全資子公司，以及沙特阿拉伯的ACWA電力公司和公共投資基金(PIF)全資擁有的水電控股公司(Badeel)正在推進(jìn)Al Shuaibah 1號和Al Shuaibah 2號太陽能光伏項(xiàng)目，預(yù)計(jì)將產(chǎn)生逾2.6吉瓦的清潔電力。Al Shuaibah PV 1和Al Shuaibah PV 2的發(fā)電量分別為600兆瓦和2031兆瓦，將能夠?yàn)榇蠹s45萬沙特家庭供電。

這座總投資約為23.7億美元的該電廠，預(yù)計(jì)將于2025年開始商業(yè)運(yùn)營。

ACWA Power首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)arco Arcelli表示，這一突破性項(xiàng)目獲得融資標(biāo)志著沙特朝著實(shí)現(xiàn)清潔能源目標(biāo)邁出了重要一步，這與國家可再生能源計(jì)劃保持一致，該計(jì)劃旨在到2030年實(shí)現(xiàn)50%的電力來自可再生能源。

阿美石油公司下游業(yè)務(wù)總裁Mohammed Al Qahtani評論道，“我們參與Al Shuaibah PV 1和Al Shuaibah PV 2項(xiàng)目，這與我們減少阿美公司碳足跡、創(chuàng)造更可持續(xù)未來的努力是一致的。雖然石油和天然氣將在滿足當(dāng)前和未來的能源需求方面發(fā)揮重要作用，但可再生能源將在應(yīng)對氣候變化挑戰(zhàn)的能源轉(zhuǎn)型中發(fā)揮越來越大的作用”。

沙特阿拉伯能源大臣薩勒曼今年早些時候表示，到2030年，沙特阿拉伯將在低碳能源項(xiàng)目上投入約2700億美元(1萬億里亞爾)，并補(bǔ)充道，沙特還將投資于電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化。

在風(fēng)能和太陽能方面，沙特阿拉伯可能擁有世界上最具雄心的產(chǎn)能增加目標(biāo)。到2030年，沙特的目標(biāo)是擁有約58吉瓦的風(fēng)能和太陽能發(fā)電能力，而目前還不到1吉瓦。

Saudi Arabia Secures Financing For $2.4 Billion Solar Project

Several Saudi firms, including oil giant Aramco and a company owned by the Kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, announced on Sunday the financial close of a major solar project in Saudi Arabia worth $2.37 billion in investment, the Saudi Press Agency reported.  

Saudi Aramco Power Company (SAPCO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the world’s largest oil firm, Aramco, as well as Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power and the Water and Electricity Holding Company (Badeel), wholly-owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), are advancing the Al Shuaibah 1 and Al Shuaibah 2 solar PV projects, which are expected to generate more than 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of clean electricity. Al Shuaibah PV 1 and Al Shuaibah PV 2 will have a capacity of 600 MW and 2,031 MW respectively, and will be capable of powering around 450,000 Saudi households.

With total investment estimated at $2.37 billion, the plant is expected to start commercial operations in 2025.

Securing financing for this groundbreaking project marks a significant step towards achieving Saudi Arabia’s clean energy goals, in alignment with the National Renewable Energy Program, which aims to generate 50% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030,” Marco Arcelli, chief executive at ACWA Power, said.

Mohammed Al Qahtani, President of Downstream at Aramco, commented,“Our participation in the Al Shuaibah PV 1 and Al Shuaibah PV 2 projects aligns with our efforts to reduce Aramco’s carbon footprint and create a more sustainable future.”

While oil and gas will play a major role to meet the energy demand of today and tomorrow, renewables will increasingly play a part in the energy transition to address the climate change challenges,” Al Qahtani added.

Saudi Arabia will spend some $270 billion (1 trillion riyals) on low-carbon energy projects by 2030, Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said earlier this year, adding the Kingdom would also invest in modernizing its grid.

In wind and solar, Saudi Arabia has perhaps one of the most ambitious capacity-building targets in the world. In 2030, the Kingdom aims to have some 58 GW of wind and solar energy capacity, which would compare with less than 1 GW currently.（https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Saudi-Arabia-Secures-Financing-For-24-Billion-Solar-Project.html）
