據能源經濟7月23日消息稱，新加坡Sunseap集團表示，計劃斥資20億美元，在鄰近的印尼巴淡市建造世界上最大的浮動太陽能農場和儲能系統，這將使其可再生發電能力翻一番。

　　Sunseap 在一份聲明中表示，浮動光伏系統預計將擁有2.2吉瓦峰值容量，并將位于巴淡島的都良康水庫，占地約1600公頃。

　　該公司和印尼巴淡島自由區管理局 Badan Pengusahaan Batam (BP Batam) 表示，他們于周一簽署了該項目的諒解備忘錄。

　　Sunseap 聯合創始人兼首席執行官 Frank Phuan 告訴路透社：“這個單一項目將使我們的整個投資組合翻一番，更重要的是建立我們在超大規模太陽能和儲能項目方面的能力。”

　　Phuan說:“浮動太陽能系統對于解決東南亞城市化地區在開發可再生能源方面面臨的土地限制大有幫助。”

　　Sunseap集團是新加坡的太陽能系統開發商、所有者和運營商，在亞洲承包了超過2000兆瓦的太陽能項目。

　　今年3月，該公司在新加坡柔佛海峽沿岸建成了一個5兆瓦的浮動光伏系統。

　　該公司表示，該項目的建設將通過銀行債務和Sunseap資本融資，預計于2022年開始，并計劃于2024年完成。

　　據 Sunseap 稱，產生和儲存的能量將全天候不間斷地提供太陽能。

　　部分綠色能源將在巴淡島內部消耗，而剩余的能源可能通過海底電纜出口到大約50公里外的新加坡。根據 BP Batam 的網站，巴淡島目前的天然氣、蒸汽和柴油廠總發電量為 540 兆瓦。

　　BP Batam董事長Muhammad Rudi在聲明中稱:" Sunseap的投資將及時提振巴淡的工業，因為他們正尋求減少其業務的碳足跡。"

　　Sunseap to build world's largest floating solar farm in Indonesia

　　Singapore's Sunseap Group says it plans to spend $2 billion to build the world's largest floating solar farm and energy storage system in neighbouring Indonesian city Batam, which will double its renewable power generation capacity.

　　The floating photovoltaic system is expected to have a capacity of 2.2 gigawatt-peak (GWp), and will be located on the Duriangkang Reservoir in Batam Island spanning around 1,600 hectares, Sunseap said in a statement.

　　The company and Batam Indonesia free zone authority, Badan Pengusahaan Batam (BP Batam), said they signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday for the project.

　　"This single project will double our entire portfolio, more importantly build our capability towards hyperscale solar and energy storage projects," Frank Phuan, co-founder and chief executive of Sunseap told Reuters.

　　"Floating solar systems will go a long way to address the land constraints that urbanised parts of Southeast Asia face in tapping renewable energy," said Phuan.

　　Sunseap Group is a solar energy system developer, owner and operator in Singapore, with over 2000 MegaWatt-peak (MWp) of solar energy projects contracted across Asia.

　　In March, it completed a 5 MWp floating photovoltaic system offshore Singapore along the Straits of Johor.

　　Construction of the project, which will be financed through bank debt and Sunseap capital, is due to begin in 2022 and is planned for completion in 2024, the company said.

　　According to Sunseap, the energy generated and stored will supply non-intermittent solar energy around the clock.

　　A portion of the green energy will be consumed within Batam, while the balance could potentially be exported to Singapore approximately 50 kilometres away via a subsea cable. Batam currently has a total power generation capacity of 540MW from gas, steam and diesel plants, according to BP Batam's website.

　　"This investment by Sunseap will be a timely boost for Batam's industries as they seek to reduce the carbon footprint of their operations," Muhammad Rudi, chairman of BP Batam said in the statement.
