JinkoPower and EDF Renewables Consortium Sign the Power Purchase Agreement for the World's Single Largest Solar Project in Abu Dhabi
NEWS PROVIDED BY JinkoPower
29 Jul, 2020, 10:01 BST
SHANGHAI, July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jinko Power Technology Co., Ltd. A leading global renewable energy IPP that develops, builds, finances, owns and operates solar power generation plants makes an announcement today. JinkoPower and its bidding partner EDF Renewables are awarded with the Al Dhafra Project, the world's largest standalone Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Plant in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. A 30-year Power Purchase Agreement has been signed by the consortium this week with Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), a leading company in the coordination of planning, purchasing and providing of water and electricity across the UAE.
With an expected production capacity of 2 GW, the Al Dhafra Solar PV Project will almost double the size of the approximately 1.2 GW Noor Abu Dhabi solar plant – amongst the largest operational solar PV plants in the world. The Noor Abu Dhabi project, which was awarded to Marubeni Corp and Jinko Consortium in 2017, commenced commercial operations in April 2019.
Once operational, the Al Dhafra Solar PV Project will lift Abu Dhabi's total solar power generation capacity to approximately 3.2 GW. This will reduce the overall Emirate's CO2 emissions by more than 3.6 million metric tons per year, which is equivalent to removal of the combustion output of approximately 720,000 vehicles.
In June 2019, EWEC, a part of ADQ, launched a call for tenders. The winning consortium formed by China's JinkoPower and France's EDF Renewables submitted the most cost-competitive tariff of USD 1.35 cent per kilowatt-hour on a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) basis, which is approximately 44% lower than tariff set by Jinko Consortium three years ago on the Noor Abu Dhabi project – Abu Dhabi's first large-scale solar PV project and a world record tariff-setter at the time.
With the collaborative effort and consensus with the partners, JinkoPower-EDF Renewables is committed to begin the development of the Al Dhafra Solar PV Project by delivering diligently the latest world-class technology and construction methods in order to reach its commissioning by 2022.
Mr. Charles Bai, President of Jinko Power International Business, commented:
"Jinko once again is privileged to take on the unforeseen challenge of building the largest PV generation plant in the world, following our success of Noor Abu Dhabi project. Upmost fairness, transparency, and an attractive environment for investors underpin our long term desire to keep developing renewable energy projects in Abu Dhabi. The Al Dhafra Solar Project raises the bar for international infrastructure investment and creates the avenue for an elite group of competitions to demonstrate how records can be made. Today Jinko undertakes within our capacity to deliver this technology and construction benchmark in two years to come. We are proud to have the chance to break our own world record and Jinko will diligently execute this project with our partners."
Speaking about the milestone, Othman Al Ali, Chief Executive Officer of EWEC, said: "We are delighted to work with our partners and sign a PPA with a record-low tariff for solar power. We are working to secure long-term energy supply and reinforce solar power's integral role in meeting current and future energy needs. Combined with key technological advances, the Al Dhafra Solar PV project will have a significant impact on diversifying the approach to our current electricity supply, and drive our strategic plan to further contribute towards the sector's transformation in water and electricity production, as we develop a low-carbon grid in the UAE."
Bruno Bensasson, EDF Group Senior Executive Vice-President Renewable Energies and Chief Executive Officer of EDF Renewables added:
"We are very proud to be awarded the largest solar project in the world at Al Dhafra. This success reflects the quality of our competitive bid submitted to EWEC in Abu Dhabi, in partnership with Jinko Power.
After the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park 1 GWp Phase 3 with DEWA and Masdar as partners, and the implication in the built of the Hatta hydroelectric with storage power plant, near Dubai, this new ambitious project represents a major step forward in EDF group's renewable energies development in the UAE. These solar projects, along with the Dumat Al Jandal 400 MW wind farm under construction in Saudi Arabia, clearly demonstrate our commitment to actively participate to the energy transition of the Middle East. The region with its great ambitions in low carbon energies is strategic for EDF. Al Dhafra new project greatly contributes to meet the EDF Group's CAP 2030 strategy, which aims to double its renewable installed energy capacity from 2015 to 2030 worldwide to 50 GW nets."

Rigs Being Set up for on Site of Aluto-Langano Geothermal Project in Ethiopia - World-Energy
20 Aug 2020 by Think Geo Energy
While indicated in social media imagery already, it is now officially reported that Chinese equipment and oil services company Kerui Petroleum has successfully lifted the derrick and substructure for the first 1500HP drilling rig at Ethiopia’s Aluto-Langano Geothermal Energy Project.
The completion of the first rigging up marks a milestone in the 70-MW geothermal energy project, which is part of Ethiopian government’s plans to expand geothermal energy generation in the coming few years, the Chinese firm said in a statement issued on Tuesday, August 18, 2020.
In February 2019, Kerui Petroleum, in partnership with Kenya’s state-owned power producer Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC, signed a contract with Ethiopia’s state utility firm Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP).
Under the contract, Kerui Petroleum will supply two sets of 1500HP drilling rigs, personnel training, drilling operation and related technology transfer for the drilling initially of the 22 wells at Aluto-Langano.
The Aluto-Langano geothermal project’s first exploration work began in 1981. The site already has a geothermal power plant that began operation in 1998 with a production capacity of 7.3 MW. The facility, however, has been closed since 2018 due to technical issues.
Ethiopia, occupying the longest section of the 7,000-km great East African Rift Valley boasts an estimated geothermal potential of 10,000 MW, envisaged to tap into the potential of the geothermal energy to power the country’s development projects.
The energy sector is one of Ethiopia’s priorities as the country envisages becoming a light manufacturing hub in Africa and middle-income economy by 2025.
The East African country had also recently unveiled a 10-year energy roadmap that aims to increase energy generation four-fold using various energy sources such as geothermal, hydro, wind, co-generation and solar power.

Chinese Companies Develop Europe's Largest Energy Storage Project into Cold Commissioning Stage
27 Aug 2020 by World-Energy
On August 25, the largest energy storage project in Europe developed by China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd.—the British Mendi Battery Energy Storage Project began cold commissioning. This marked the project's entry into the final stage of development and is scheduled to be put into commercial operation by the end of the year.
The Mendi project is the first energy storage project built by a Chinese power company in a developed country. It is jointly funded by China Huaneng and Guoxin International, and is operated and managed by Huaneng Hong Kong. The project is located near Mendy Town, Wiltshire, England, with a planned installed capacity of 99.8 MW. The main equipment is manufactured and integrated by Chinese companies, using lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium battery technology, and the domestic production rate exceeds 80%.
The Mendi project enters the cold state commissioning, that is, when the plant station is not connected to the power system, the appearance inspection of the electrical equipment in the subsystem, the wiring inspection, the short-circuit elimination, the test of the battery, the control panel, the battery container, the energy management system, and the change Streamer, etc., is expected to be completed on September 10. In order to ensure the health of the operators, strict epidemic prevention measures are adopted at the construction site, and closed construction, temperature measurement by special personnel, and regular disinfection are implemented. All staff wear masks and maintain a safe distance throughout the process. So far, no health, safety or environmental accidents have occurred in the Mendi project.
In recent years, with the rapid development of renewable energy in the UK, the intermittent and volatility of power output has led to an increasingly prominent imbalance in power supply and demand. After the completion of the Mendi battery energy storage project, it will mainly participate in the peak shaving and frequency modulation, fast frequency response, black start, capacity market and other services of the British power market, which will help improve the capacity of the British power grid to accept renewable energy and effectively improve the local power grid's peak response The elasticity of valley shocks improves the safety and stability of power system operation, creates jobs for the local area, and contributes tax revenue, which has good social and economic benefits.
It is reported that Huaneng Hong Kong Co., Ltd. is making every effort to promote the construction of the project, and at the same time, strive to build the Mendi project into a "premium project", that is, a boutique project of quality, technology, management, efficiency, and image. Through the construction of high-quality projects, the company will accumulate rich experience in energy storage project development, construction, management, operation and maintenance, cultivate an international and professional talent team, achieve high-quality development of overseas projects, and improve Huaneng’s ability to develop overseas energy storage projects. Establish an excellent international brand image.

SENJ, Croatia, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese-invested wind farm project near Croatia's Adriatic coastal city Senj officially kicked off on Tuesday.
The 156MW Senj wind farm project is operated by Energija Projekt d.d., a company specially set up to run the project in 2011. China's Norinco International Co. Ltd. signed an equity purchase agreement with Energija Projekt on Nov. 27, 2017.
According to the agreement, Norinco acquired 76 percent of the Croatian company's equity with around 32 million euros (about 36 million U.S. dollars), while the total investment in the project could reach 179 million euros.
The delivery of the company was completed at the end of September. In two years, 39 wind turbines will be built on the windy mountainous area eight kilometers northeast of Senj. The nearly 45-square-kilometer wind farm will be producing 530 million kilowatts of electricity annually.
Speaking at the commencement ceremony Tuesday, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said the project was a great example of economic cooperation between Croatia and China.
"I am sure that the project will be realized in the next two years as it is planned. That means that part of the work will be done by Croatian subcontractors and that at least 100 people will be employed in this project," Plenkovic said, while noting that Croatia wants to boost cooperation with China especially in infrastructure, railways and ports.
In an interview with Xinhua, the prime minister pointed out that despite the fact that Croatia is importing a fair amount of electricity, the country has never faced any shortage of electricity in recent years, while the wind farm project is an excellent contribution to the increase of renewable energy in Croatian electricity market.
Plenkovic also expressed confidence in entrusting Norinco International on the job. "We have full confidence... We believe it is an excellent example of direct Chinese investment in Croatia. We believe this example will lead other Chinese investors to look for opportunities and partners and projects in Croatian market."
"This is an important piece of mosaic of very solid and dynamic Croatian-Chinese cooperation in the years to come," he concluded.
Responding to trust from the Croatian side, Wang Yitong, Board Chairman of Norinco International, assured that his company will abide by local laws and regulations and work together with Croatian partners in order to present a high-quality project with efficiency.
Senj's mayor Sanjin Rukavina told Xinhua that the wind farm is an important project to the city because it is a very big investment.
"We support this project strongly... According to some estimates the city will earn more than four million kuna (about 612,000 U.S. dollars) per year once the wind farm is in function," said the mayor.
