“储储”动人：哈萨克斯坦电力市场潜在新风口
By King & Wood
作者：田文静 徐越 周思吉 作为“一带一路”首倡之地，哈萨克斯坦在共建“一带一路”中具有特殊重要地位，而电力领域是中哈合作的热门领域之一。 哈萨克斯坦目前仍以传统能源为主、再生能源为辅。以2023年全国发电数据为例，燃煤电站发电量比重为77.4%，燃气发电站的比重为9.8%，水电站的比重为7.8%，再生能源的比重仅为5.0%。尽管如此，为完成在《巴黎协定》下的减排目标，哈萨克斯坦近年来已推出一系列举措优化能源结构，既包括支持清洁能源发展、鼓励再生能源项目开发，也包括支持对老旧电厂进行现代化改造，进而减少技术损耗和降低污染物排放。根据哈萨克斯坦能源部长2024年2月20日第71号令颁布的《电力行业发展规划（2035）》，哈萨克斯坦在未来五年内将举行规模高达6.7GW的再生能源发电项目招标，其中约1GW的风电项目需要配备约300MW的储能设施。根据哈萨克斯坦可再生能源协会“Qazaq Green”和华为技术哈萨克斯坦有限公司在《电池储能系统在哈萨克斯坦统一电网中的应用潜力白皮书（稿）》中的预测，未来10年哈萨克斯坦储能系统规模将超过1GW。广阔的储能市场潜力吸引了中国电建、国电投、远景、Total、Masdar、ACWA等国内外众多企业。 阅读更多
