据能源全球8月12日消息称，壳牌正致力于购买四个总容量为100兆瓦的太阳能电场项目，目前由Anesco开发。该项目位于英国北威尔士、切斯特、南北安普敦郡和北林肯郡，在过去的18个月里由Anesco开发，目前正处于规划的最后阶段。这些项目产生的可再生能源将通过电力购买协议（PPA）供应给英国客户。

该协议建立在两家公司之间的长期合作关系之上。他们已经成功地在壳牌位于英国诺福克的巴克顿天然气接收站合作建立了一个电池存储工厂，并于2022年3月完成了壳牌在荷兰的三个太阳能发电厂中的最后一个开发：在埃曼的一个12兆瓦功率的太阳能发电厂，在弗莱斯兰的一个14兆瓦功率的太阳能发电厂，以及在Sas Van Gent的一个30兆瓦功率的太阳能发电厂。

壳牌英国陆上电力负责人Lukas Fleming表示：“壳牌正在建立一个横跨发电的业务，为英国的家庭和企业提供清洁能源供应。从Anesco收购这四个太阳能项目意味着我们可以帮助满足英国客户对可再生能源日益增长的需求。”

壳牌已经设定了一个到2050年实现能源净零排放的全球目标，并计划在未来十年向英国能源系统投资250亿英镑，该计划有待董事会批准。增加可再生能源发电是实现壳牌战略的关键，也是支持英国实现2050年净零目标的关键。

Shell confirms plans to purchase portfolio of new build solar capacity in the UK

Shell is working towards the purchase of four solar farm projects with a total capacity of 100 MW, currently being developed by Anesco. Located in North Wales, Chester, South Northamptonshire, and North Lincolnshire, UK, the sites have been developed by Anesco over the past 18 months and are currently in the final stages of planning. Renewable power generated from these projects will be supplied to UK customers through power purchase agreements (PPA).

The agreement builds on a long-standing relationship between the two companies. They have successfully collaborated on a battery storage plant at Shell’s Bacton gas terminal site in Norfolk, UK, and in March 2022, Anesco completed development of the third in a trio of solar farms for Shell in the Netherlands: a 12 MWp array in Emmen, a 14 MWp solar farm in Friesland, and a 30 MWp solar installation in Sas Van Gent.

Lukas Fleming, Head onshore Power, Shell UK, said: “Shell is building a business that spans the generation, trading a supply of clean energy to homes and businesses here in the UK. Acquisition of these four solar energy projects from Anesco will mean we can help meet more of the growing demand for renewable power from our UK customers.”

Shell has set a global target to be a net zero emissions energy business by 2050, and has plans to invest up to ￡25 billion in the UK energy system over the next decade, subject to board approval. Increasing renewable power generation is key to both delivery of Shell’s strategy and to support the UK in meeting its net zero 2050 ambition.
