马斯达尔将建设中亚最大风电场

据The Energy Year网站4月2日报道，阿布扎比可再生能源巨头马斯达尔（Masdar）获得乌兹别克斯坦政府批准，将建设一座1.5吉瓦的风电场，这将是中亚最大的风电场。

该项目位于乌兹别克斯坦纳沃伊地区Zarafshan地区，预计投资6亿美元。一个最初的500兆瓦项目计划于2024年底开始运行，为50万户家庭供电，每年避免110万吨二氧化碳排放。去年6月，马斯达尔与乌兹别克斯坦政府签署了电力购买协议和投资协议。

阿联酋气候变化特使苏丹·艾哈迈德·贾比尔博士（Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber）表示，对阿联酋来说，重要的是，我们在气候问题上的行动可以帮助扩大世界各地其他国家的努力。这种伙伴关系是我们如何将这一宗旨付诸实践的一个明显例子。

Al Jaber博士还担任ADNOC集团首席执行官兼工业和高级技术部部长。

乌兹别克斯坦的目标是到2030年可再生能源占其能源结构的25%，其中包括3吉瓦的风能。

Masdar to build Central Asia’s largest wind farm

Abu Dhabi renewable energy giant Masdar has won approval from the government of Uzbekistan to build a 1.5-GW wind farm that will be Central Asia’s largest wind installation.

Located in the Zarafshan district of Uzbekistan’s Navoi region, the project will see an investment of USD 600 million.

An initial 500-MW project is scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2024, powering 500,000 homes and displacing 1.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. A power purchase agreement and investment agreement were signed between Masdar and the Uzbekistan government last June.

“For the UAE, it is important that our actions on climate can help amplify the efforts of others around the world,” UAE Special Envoy for Climate Change Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said. “This partnership is a clear example of how we are putting that tenet into practice.”

Dr. Al Jaber also serves as ADNOC Group CEO and minister of industry and advanced technology.

Uzbekistan targets a 25% share for renewables in its energy mix by 2030, including 3 GW of wind energy.
