訊 據資訊7月27日消息稱，丸紅株式會社、住友商事、三井株式會社和伊甸公司已收到緬甸電力和能源部（MOEE）的開工通知（NTP，授予項目開發專有權），以在緬甸蒂拉瓦進行液化天然氣發電項目
該項目的范圍包括建造、擁有和經營一座1250兆瓦液化天然氣燃料火電廠和緬甸最大容量的陸上液化天然氣接收、儲存和再氣化設施。該協議還包括一項長期購電協議，在商業運營開始后25年內將發電出售給電力企業(EPGE)， EPGE是該國能源部下屬的一家國有企業。該項目還包括液化天然氣的采購、運輸、儲存和再氣化。現在已收到NTP，丸紅與住友、三井和伊甸集團將繼續進行項目的開發，首先進行詳細的可行性研究，然后進行融資，并建設發電廠和相關設施。
在緬甸，快速的經濟增長使人們對海外IPP開發商提供電力以滿足日益增長的電力需求的預期上升。蒂拉瓦的電力需求尤其旺盛，該地區有一個經濟特區，丸紅也在那里投資。丸紅、住友、三井和伊甸集團將繼續通過該項目提供安全穩定的電力，為緬甸的進一步經濟發展做出貢獻。
在電力市場上，丸紅在包括日本在內的19個國家的發電資產已超過12吉瓦（凈）。丸紅致力于利用其豐富的經驗和知識，為亞洲國家的基礎設施建設作出貢獻。此外，丸紅還將繼續開發像本項目這樣的LNG發電項目，包括液化天然氣采購、運輸、儲存和再氣化到發電的能源鏈。
LNG to power project in Myanmar approved
Marubeni Corporation, with Sumitomo Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Ltd and Eden Group Co,. Ltd, has received a Notice To Proceed (NTP, granting exclusive rights of project development) from the Ministry of Electricity and Energy of Myanmar (MOEE) for an LNG to Power Project in Thilawa, Myanmar.
The scope of this Project includes the building, owning and operation of a 1250 MW LNG fuelled thermal power plant and onshore LNG receiving, storage and regasification facility of the largest capacity in Myanmar. It also includes a long-term power purchase agreement for the sale of generated power to the Electric Power Generation Enterprise (EPGE), a stated-owned enterprise under MOEE, over a 25-year term after commercial operation commences. The Project further includes the procurement, shipping, storage and regasification of LNG. Now that the NTP has been received, Marubeni with Sumitomo, Mitsui and Eden Group will proceed with the development of the Project by firstly carrying out the detailed feasibility study followed by procuring financing, and constructing the power plant and associated facilities.
In Myanmar, rapid economic growth has caused expectations to rise for overseas IPP developers to supply power to meet the increasing demand for electricity. Demand for electricity is especially high in the Thilawa region, which has a Special Economic Zone where Marubeni also invests. Marubeni, Sumitomo, Mitsui and Eden Group will continue to contribute to further economic development in Myanmar by supplying safe and stable power through the Project.
In the power market, Marubeni has expanded its power generation assets to over 12 GW (net) in 19 countries, including Japan. Marubeni is committed to contributing to the development of infrastructure in Asian countries by utilising its extensive experience and knowledge. Also, Marubeni will continue to develop LNG-to-Power projects, such as this Project, which include the energy chain of LNG procurement, shipping, storage and regasification to the production of electricity.
