  編制按：我集團擁有并建設的Orpower22(MenengaiⅢ)地熱發電站日前進入到調試階段，與此同時，由世界銀行旗下國際金融公司（IFC）與非洲開發銀行組成的銀團貸款也進入到最后的批準環節。2025年11月，非洲開發銀行董事會批準了該項貸款，完成了最后的審批程序。MenengaiⅢ發電站發電機組正在逐一并網發電，進入到為期30天的測試、驗證階段，預計將于2月底、3月初實現COD（商業運營）。本編輯部現轉發非洲開發銀行發布的新聞稿，以饗讀者。   去年11月，非洲開發銀行集團董事會批準了一筆1650萬美元的貸款，用于支持35MW OrPower Twenty-Two （OTTL）地熱電站的開發，這是一個旗艦類的可再生能源項目，將提升肯尼亞的基載發電能力并加速其清潔能源轉型。   The Board of Directors of the African Development Bank Group has approved a loan of $16.5 million to support the development of the 35 MW OrPower Twenty-Two (OTTL) Geothermal Power Plant last November, a flagship renewable energy project that will increase Kenya’s baseload generation and accelerate its clean energy transition.

  該項目由OTTL開發，是Menengai地熱田的第三個獨立發電商（IPP）項目，項目位于肯尼亞首都內羅畢西北180公里的Nakuru市北部。Menengai另外兩個項目是已投入運營的35MW Sosian Menengai地熱電站，以及目前由非洲開發銀行資助、正在建設中的35MW Globeleq Menengai地熱項目。   The project is being developed by OTTL,  an Independent Power Producer (IPP) in the Menengai geothermal field, just north of Nakuru Town, 180 km northwest of the capital, Nairobi. It is the third power plant in the field, complementing the operational 35 MW Sosian Menengai Geothermal plant, and the 35 MW Globeleq Menengai Geothermal project, of which the latter is still under construction with separate Bank financing.   這些項目將充分發揮Menengai地熱田全部105MW的潛力。Menengai地熱田由Geothermal Development Company (GDC,地熱開發公司）開發，非洲開發銀行也為其提供過1.45億美元融資支持。   Together, these projects will unlock the full 105 MW potential of the first phase of the Menengai geothermal field. The Menengai field itself was developed using an earlier $145 million financing to Geothermal Development Company (GDC) from the African Development Bank.   作為國有地熱開發公司的GDC負責鉆井、地熱資源的生產、以及給新的電站供應蒸汽。肯尼亞電力與照明公司（國家電網）是地熱電站唯一的電力承購商，與項目公司有長達25年的購電協議。   GDC, a government-owned entity, is responsible for drilling, producing, and supplying quality steam to the new power plant. Kenya Power and Lighting Company, also state-owned, will be the sole off-taker for the geothermal power plant, under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).   除了擴大產能外，該項目還將以全國最低的電價之一向肯尼亞國家電網提供平價、可持續的基載電力，助力降低總體電力成本。一旦投入運營，該電站每年將產生約301Gwh的可靠清潔能源，加強電力供應穩定性。它還將在肯尼亞的能源結構多樣化、減少對昂貴的柴油發電的依賴方面發揮關鍵作用。   Beyond expanding generation capacity, the project will deliver affordable, sustainable baseload power to Kenya’s national grid at one of the lowest tariffs in the country, helping to drive down overall electricity costs. When fully operational, the plant will generate approximately 301 Gigawatt hours of reliable, clean energy annually, strengthening supply stability. It will also play a critical role in diversifying Kenya’s energy mix and reducing dependence on expensive diesel-fueled generation.   該電站預計將帶來巨大的氣候效益，包括在25年的購電協議期間減少的190萬噸溫室氣體排放。   The plant is expected to deliver substantial climate benefits, including greenhouse gas emission avoidance of 1.9 million tonnes over the 25-year PPA period.   非洲開發銀行能源金融解決方案、政策和法規局局長Wale Shonibare表示：“Menengai模式展示了政商協作的力量，由政府主導的資源開發為地熱發電領域的私人投資創造了條件。這種方法帶來了互惠互利的局面：地熱開發公司（GDC）從蒸汽銷售獲得穩定收入，使其能夠在Menengai的重大投資中獲利，并將資金重新投入到全國范圍內地熱開發的擴張中，同時私營部門推動高效發電。我行很自豪能為非洲這種具有變革性且可復制的模式提供支持。”   Wale Shonibare, Director of the Bank’s Energy Financial Solutions, Policy, and Regulations Department said, “The Menengai model demonstrates the power of public-private collaboration, where government-led resource development unlocks private investment in geothermal generation, delivering mutual benefits: Geothermal Development Company secures stable revenues from steam sales, allowing it to monetise its significant investment in Menengai and reinvest in expanding geothermal development nationwide, while the private sector drives efficient power generation.”   OTTL公司董事總經理齊井文表示，“我們很榮幸地使用獨立研發、擁有完全自主知識產權的新一代地熱發電技術先后建設了Orpower Menengai地熱電站，踐行了公司‘為節約地球做貢獻’的企業使命。國際金融機構的支持將使非洲能夠更深入地參與新綠色能源的發展。”   “We are honoured to be constructing the Orpower Menengai Geothermal Power Plant using independently developed, fully proprietary next-generation geothermal power technology thereby fulfilling our corporate mission of ‘contributing to saving the planet’,” OTTL Director, Qi Jingwen said. “Support by international financial institutions will enable deeper participation in the development of new green energy in Africa.”   該項目加強了世行的能源優先事項，同時通過直接支持該國《使命300能源契約》的第一支柱，推進了肯尼亞更廣泛的發展議程。通過為該國到2030年將地熱能從940兆瓦增加到1824兆瓦的目標做出貢獻，它還通過私營部門的投資幫助肯尼亞加速向100%清潔能源的過渡。   ”This project reinforces the Bank’s energy priorities while advancing Kenya’s broader development agenda by directly supporting Pillar I of the country’s Mission 300 Energy Compact. By contributing to the country’s goal of increasing geothermal capacity from 940 MW to 1,824 MW by 2030, it is also helping accelerate Kenya’s transition to 100% clean energy through private sector investment.   世行的融資補充了國際金融公司（IFC）預期的額外資金，使該項目的總貸款額達到6440萬美元，而項目預計總成本為9190萬美元。   The Bank’s financing complements additional funding expected from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), bringing the project’s total debt to $64.4 million out of a total estimated project cost of $91.9 million.   本文信息來源于非洲開發銀行集團官方發布。
