石油设备网讯 据路透社3月24日麦加报道，沙特计划在麦加建设一个2600兆瓦的太阳能项目，以优化碳氢化合物和矿产资源的利用，实现国民经济的可持续发展。
麦加埃米尔王子Khaled Al-Faisal和能源、工业和矿产资源部长Khalid Al-Falih周日在第二届麦加经济论坛上签署了一份关于这方面的谅解备忘录。
这个2600兆瓦的Faisaliah太阳能发电项目由能源部与麦加发展当局合作开发，并将分阶段实施。
根据谅解备忘录，可再生能源项目发展办公室(Repdo)今年将在公开招标中提供600兆瓦，而公共投资基金及其合作伙伴将直接实施2000兆瓦。
Falih在签署谅解备忘录后表示，这是朝着实现沙特可再生能源战略目标，也是按照沙特2030年远景规划最优利用能源和资源迈出的重要一步。
沙特阿拉伯正在从燃烧原油发电转向增加可再生能源发电。
到2023年，约有9.5千兆瓦的太阳能和风能发电量被提前指定用于开发。
去年，沙特还批准在北部Al Jouf地区建设一座300兆瓦公用事业规模的光伏太阳能发电厂。

2,600MW solar project for Makkah
The Kingdom is planning to build a 2,600 megawatts solar project in Makkah to optimize the use of hydrocarbon and mineral resources to achieve sustainable development of the national economy.
A memorandum of understanding to this effect was signed on Sunday by Makkah Emir Prince Khaled Al-Faisal and Minister of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources Khalid Al-Falih of the second session of Makkah Economic Forum.
The 2,600-MW Faisaliah Solar Power Project is being developed by the Ministry of Energy in co-ordination with Development Authority of Makkah and is set to be implemented in stages.
As per the MoU, 600 MW will be offered by the Office of Renewable Energy Projects Development (Repdo) in a public tender this year, while the Public Investment Fund and its partners will implement 2,000 MW directly.
This is an important step forward to achieve the strategic goals of renewable energy in the Kingdom, and the optimal utilization of energy and resources in line with the Saudi Vision 2030, Falih said after signing the MoU.
Saudi Arabia, which is moving away from burning crude for power generation, has plans to increase power generation from renewables.
about 9.5GW of solar and wind capacities had been earlier earmarked for development by 2023.
Last year the Kingdom also awarded a 300-MW utility-scale photovoltaic solar plant to be built in the northern Al Jouf area.
