澳洲市占直直上升 东方日升澳洲光伏电站奠基仪式完成
日前，东方日升宣布，继今年2月公司收购澳洲Yarranlea光伏发电站100%股权之后，该项目于本月进入实质性动工阶段。澳洲昆士兰议会议员Patrick Weir、昆士兰图文巴区政府区长Paul Antonio、东方日升澳洲项目开发与投资总监John Zhong等多位领导共同出席了奠基仪式。

Yarranlea项目占地面积则约250公顷。东方日升将为该项目提供涵盖工程设计、建设施工、组件交付乃至电站运维等在内的一站式服务。按照预估，项目最快可于明年3月底竣工。届时，电站所发电力将纳入澳洲国家电力市场（NEM），并最终应用于图文巴（Toowoomba）和达令山丘（Darling Downs）地区，预计项目年均发电量可达264GWh。在节能减碳方面，该项目所发电量相当于减少二氧化碳 124,000公吨，经济与环保效益十分显著。
在补贴计划的推动下，澳大利亚的高电价与即将到期的FIT补贴使该国成为全球的户用储能市场，去年规模增长了三倍。现阶段来看，包括特斯拉、越来越多的海外厂商或开发商正大力挖掘这一市场“蛋糕”，而国内光伏龙头企业东方日升也已加速布局澳洲储能市场。
东方日升澳洲项目开发与投资总监John Zhong表示：“我们高度重视与澳大利亚州政府共同合作开发这个大型电站项目。同时，我们也感到非常自豪，因为Yarranlea光伏电站是东方日升在澳大利亚负责开发的大型EPC项目。目前，该电站已经获得了澳洲政府一体化储能开发资质。我们也已在项目现场规划了放置储能的区域。Yarranlea光伏电站储能的开发意味可以将白天无法消耗的电量保存下来并在用电高峰期和晚上使用，这也将进一步提升Yarranlea光伏电站的利润，并带动项目发电成本的下降。我们期望能与优质供应商紧密合作，确保项目的顺利交付与高效运行，从而为图文巴和达令山丘地区供应可再生能源。”
“目前，我们的目光不仅仅着眼于昆士兰州一地，而是统观包括维州，新洲以及西澳在内的整个澳洲市场。为顺利推进项目建设，我们已派遣经验丰富专家就现有项目进行深入分析，同时积极推进自主电站项目的开发。” John Zhong表示。
Risen Energy starts construction of Yarranlea solar project in Australia
Risen Energy announced recently that following the acquisition in February of a 100% stake in the Yarranlea solar farm project located 50km southwest of Toowoomba, in Australia's Queensland state, construction of the project officially started this month. Queensland Parliament member Patrick Weir, Toowoomba Regional Council mayor Paul Antonio, Risen Energy Australia project development and investment director John Zhong, and other guests took part in the ground-breaking ceremony.
The Yarranlea project covers an area of some 250 hectares. In addition to the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), delivery of modules and the follow-up adjustment and calibration upon completion of the project, Risen Energy will own and operate the completed facility. Construction is scheduled to be completed at the earliest by the end of March of next year. Upon completion, the facility will be connected to the grid under the management of the National Electricity Market and provide clean electricity to Toowoomba and Darling Downs, with an average annual power capacity projected to reach 264GWh after being put into operation. In terms of energy saving and carbon reduction, the projects will reduce CO2 use by 124,000 metric tonnes, resulting in significant benefits for both environmental protection and economic development.
Thanks to a generous subsidy plan, high electricity prices and soon-to-be-expired feed-in-tariff (FiT) subsidies, Australia has become the world's largest market of energy storage for home use, with market size tripling last year. Increasingly, non-Australian manufacturers and developers are targeting the market by speeding up their efforts in the country, including Chinese leader Risen Energy.
Mr. Zhong said: "We highly value joint development of the Yarranlea project with the Australian government. We are also proud of the fact that the Yarranlea project is our first large-scale EPC project in the country. The project has also received regulatory approval for the development of integrated energy storage. We have set up specific zones for energy storage onsite. The competence in energy storage means spare electricity in the daytime could be stored and used during peak periods and at night, further enhancing profitability and reducing power generation costs of the Yarranlea station. We look forward to close cooperation with leading suppliers to ensure successful completion and operation of the project, with the aim of providing regenerable energy to Toowoomba and Darling Downs."
Mr. Zhong added: "In addition to Queensland, we are targeting other states across Australia, most notably Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia. To facilitate development of the project, we have assigned experienced experts to analyse our ongoing projects, while preparing for development of additional power stations that we will own and operate ourselves."
