雪佛龙和阿尔冈昆将开发500兆瓦可再生能源

据能源新闻7月31日消息称，据Kallanish Energy报道，雪佛龙公司宣布计划为其运营提供超过500兆瓦的可再生电力。

其雪佛龙美国公司子公司已与总部位于安大略省奥克维尔市的阿尔冈昆电力和公用事业公司签署了一份为期四年的协议，共同开发可再生能源。

该公司表示，这些电力将用于雪佛龙全球投资组合的战略资产。

两家公司没有说明这些项目中风能占多大比例，太阳能或水电占多大比例。

雪佛龙管道与电力公司总裁Allen Satterwhite在一份声明中说:“雪佛龙打算通过开发负担得起、可靠和更清洁的能源，引领能源的未来。”

他说:“这项协议通过投资于可靠、可扩展、低成本和直接支持我们核心业务的可再生能源解决方案，推进了雪佛龙公司降低碳足迹的承诺。”

预计最初的可再生能源项目将位于雪佛龙公司的土地上，并可能于2021年开始建设。

该公司表示，这些项目将集中在德克萨斯州西部和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地，以及阿根廷、哈萨克斯坦和澳大利亚西部。

项目将由两家公司共同拥有和开发。

阿尔冈昆公司将领导这些项目的设计、开发和建设。雪佛龙将通过购电协议购买电力。

500兆瓦的电力足够40万户美国家庭使用。

阿尔冈昆已经安装了超过2吉瓦的可再生能源。

Chevron, Algonquin to develop 500 MW of renewables

Chevron Corp. has announced that it intends to source more than 500 megawatts of renewable electricity for its operations, Kallanish Energy reports.

Its Chevron U.S.A. Inc. subsidiary has signed a four-year agreement with Algonquin Power and Utilities with headquarters in Oakville, Ontario, to co-develop the renewables.

The electricity will go to strategic assets across Chevron’s global portfolio, the company said.

The companies did not address what percentage of the projects might be wind and how much might be solar or hydro.

“Chevron intends to lead in the future of energy by developing affordable, reliable and ever-cleaner energy,” said Allen Satterwhite, president of Chevron Pipeline and Power, in a statement.

“This agreement advances Chevron’s commitment to lower our carbon footprint by investing in renewable power solutions that are reliable, scalable, cost efficient and directly support our core business,” he said.

Initial renewable projects are expected to be sited on Chevron land with construction likely to start in 2021

The projects will be focused in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico, along with Argentina, Kazakhstan and western Australia, it said.

Projects will be jointly owned and co-developed by the two companies.

Algonquin will lead the design, development and construction of the projects. Chevron will purchase electricity through power purchase agreements.

500 megawatts is enough electricity to power about 400,000 U.S. homes.

Algonquin has more than 2 gigawatts of installed renewable energy in its portfolio.
