據能源新聞7月31日消息稱，據Kallanish Energy報道，雪佛龍公司宣布計劃為其運營提供超過500兆瓦的可再生電力。

其雪佛龍美國公司子公司已與總部位于安大略省奧克維爾市的阿爾岡昆電力和公用事業公司簽署了一份為期四年的協議，共同開發可再生能源。

該公司表示，這些電力將用于雪佛龍全球投資組合的戰略資產。

兩家公司沒有說明這些項目中風能占多大比例，太陽能或水電占多大比例。

雪佛龍管道與電力公司總裁Allen Satterwhite在一份聲明中說:“雪佛龍打算通過開發負擔得起、可靠和更清潔的能源，引領能源的未來。”

他說:“這項協議通過投資于可靠、可擴展、低成本和直接支持我們核心業務的可再生能源解決方案，推進了雪佛龍公司降低碳足跡的承諾。”

預計最初的可再生能源項目將位于雪佛龍公司的土地上，并可能于2021年開始建設。

該公司表示，這些項目將集中在德克薩斯州西部和新墨西哥州的二疊紀盆地，以及阿根廷、哈薩克斯坦和澳大利亞西部。

項目將由兩家公司共同擁有和開發。

阿爾岡昆公司將領導這些項目的設計、開發和建設。雪佛龍將通過購電協議購買電力。

500兆瓦的電力足夠40萬戶美國家庭使用。

阿爾岡昆已經安裝了超過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.
