オマーンとボツワナ、燃料安全保障と太陽光発電プロジェクトでエネルギー関係を強化

By

-- オマーン外務省は月曜日の声明で、オマーンとボツワナが燃料安全保障、エネルギーインフラ、再生可能エネルギー開発における協力拡大に向けた一連の協定に署名したと発表した。 重要な協定の一つは、オマーンの国営総合エネルギー企業であるOQと、ボツワナの国営企業で燃料調達、貯蔵、国家供給管理を担うボツワナ・オイルとの連携である。両国は、ボツワナの長期的なエネルギー安全保障を強化するため、統合燃料供給・貯蔵システムの開発の実現可能性を評価する。 声明によると、「OQとボツワナ・オイルは、沿岸部の輸入・貯蔵ソリューションと内陸部の戦略備蓄を組み合わせた統合プラットフォームの構築の実現可能性を評価する。このモデルは、ボツワナの長期的な燃料需要を満たすため、供給の安定性を強化し、サプライチェーンの効率性を向上させることを目的としている」。 この取り組みは、技術、商業、規制面での連携を網羅する2025年までの協力枠組みに基づいている。初期段階では、実現可能性に関する前提条件の検証、戦略的な在庫水準の決定、および供給オプションの評価に重点が置かれます。 並行して、再生可能エネルギー分野における協力も進展しています。O-Greenはボツワナ電力公社と電力購入契約を締結し、マウンに500メガワットの太陽光発電所を建設する計画です。この発電所は、500メガワットの蓄電池システムによって支えられます。 このプロジェクトは、2025年に合意された3,000メガワット規模のエネルギー協力枠組みの下で実施される最初のプロジェクトです。大規模なエネルギー貯蔵により、ボツワナの発電能力を大幅に拡大し、送電網の安定性を向上させることが期待されています。 ボツワナは、2030年までに電力の50%を再生可能エネルギー源から供給し、輸入への依存度を低減することを目指しています。 この枠組みには、石油貯蔵インフラにおけるさらなる協力、および太陽光、風力、炭化水素分野におけるより広範な協力も含まれており、差し迫ったエネルギー安全保障のニーズと長期的な脱炭素化目標を両立させるものです。

Global Power Solutions Signs Non-Binding LOI to Evaluate Development of Modular Hydrogen-Powered Energy Project

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved. "The feasibility process will allow both parties to assess technical configuration, commercial structure, and regulatory considerations before determining whether to proceed toward definitive agreements."The company may establish project-level special purpose entities (SPEs) for the development, ownership, financing, and operation of any project facilities. 2782404 is expected to provide site access information, operational requirements, and anticipated power demand profiles to support the feasibility assessment, while Global is expected to lead the technical evaluation and project development planning.The parties also anticipate that the feasibility process will include engineering studies, site suitability assessments, preliminary financial modeling, and evaluation of hydrogen production, storage, and power generation configurations. If the project proceeds beyond feasibility, the parties, it added, may negotiate a long-term power purchase agreement under which electricity generated by the project could potentially be supplied to 2782404 under a defined commercial framework.Shares of the company closed up 10% to $0.32 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
