澳大利亚启动一个大型可再生能源出口项目

中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价5月26日报道， 除了成为世界级的液化天然气出口国，澳大利亚可能很快成为可再生能源的主要出口国。

工程师现在正在寻求使用一条3,800公里的海底电缆将新加坡与达尔文连接起来，从而有效地将这个东南亚国家与澳大利亚电网连接起来。

总部位于珀斯的Guardian Geomatics公司已获得合同，为太阳电缆项目进行路线测量，该项目由Atlassian创始人Mike Cannon-Brookes和Fortescue Metals创始人Andrew Forrest支持。

去年11月，这两位亿万富翁发起了该项目的一轮融资。尽管融资总额仍未披露，但格罗克风险投资公司(Grok Ventures)和Squadron Energy这两家基金在首次融资中筹集了数千万美元。该项目的总成本预计在130亿美元左右。

Guardian Geomatics将于本月开始准备，初步计划是利用姊妹公司Guardian Offshore的船只“ Offshore Solution”号来交付工作，该工作将于今年晚些时候开始。

澳大利亚北部Tennant Creek附近1.5万公顷、10吉瓦的太阳能电场是目前吕梁世界上最大的正在开发的太阳能电场。该项目还包括一个大型的50兆滚珠轴承瓦的电池存储设施，以确保一个稳定的24小时能源供应。

该项目的大部分能源将通过海底电缆出口到新加坡，但有一小部分将交付给达尔文及其周围的消费者。

Australia Embarks On A Mammoth Renewable Energy Exporting Project

As well as being a world-class LNG exporter, Australia may soon become a major exporter of renewable energy.

Engineers are now looking to connect Singapore with Darwin, using a 3,800-kilometer undersea cable, effectively connecting the South-East Asian country to the Australian grid.

Perth-based company Guardian Geomatics has been awarded the contract to conduct a route survey for the Sun Cable project which is backed by Atlassian founder Mike 供暖设备Cannon-Brookes and Fortescue Metals founder Andrew Forrest.

The two billionaire backers led a capital raising round for the project last November. And while the total amount of money raised remains undisclosed, the two funds Grok Ventures and Squadron Energy raised tens of millions of dollars during this first capital raise. The total cost of the project is expected to be around $13 billion.

Guardian Geomatics will commence preparations this month, with initial plans to utilize sister company Guardian Offshore’s vessel “Offshore Solution” to deliver the work, starting later in 2020.

The 15,000 hectare, 10GW solar farm near Tennant Creek in Australia’s Northern Territory is the largest solar farm in the world currently under development. The project also includes plans for a massive 50-megawatt battery storage facility which ensures a steady around the c珠宝盒lock energy supply.

Most of the energy from the project will be exported through the undersea cable to Singapore, but a small part will be delivered to consumers in and around Darwin.
