澳大利亚LNG进口终端获得开发批准

据天然气资讯1月13日消息称，南澳大利亚政府已经批准在阿德莱德港外港建设一个2.5亿澳元的液化天然气进口终端。

该终端将成为南澳大利亚州唯一的液化天然气进口设施，也是世界上第一个由可再生能源供电的终端。

威尼斯能源公司董事总经理Kym Winter-Dewhirst对这一声明表示欢迎，并表示该终端将有助于南澳向更可再生能源景观的过渡。

Winter-Dewhirst表示：“威尼斯是一家综合能源公司，旨在为南澳大利亚不断增长的可再生能源部门带来一系列项目的成果——这个终端标志着我们的第一个项目，我们很高兴能获得继续推进的绿灯。”

他表示:“通过这个终端，我们将向国际天然气市场开放，并使当地的天然气供应多样化，尤其是在高峰时期。” 这将防止未来几年预测的国内天然气短缺影响到南澳大利亚州和维多利亚州，并将给当地客户的天然气价格带来下行压力。

工程预计将在明年年中开始，在财务结束后，将需要12 - 14个月的时间来完成和交付。

预计第一批液化天然气将于2023年末至2024年初进入终端并连接到南澳大利亚天然气网络。

Australian LNG import terminal granted development approval

The South Australian Government has approved the construction of an AUS$250 million LNG import terminal to be built in the Outer Harbour of Port Adelaide.

The terminal will become the only LNG import facility in South Australia and the first in the world to be powered by renewable energy.

Venice Energy’s Managing Director, Kym Winter-Dewhirst welcomed the announcement and said the terminal will contribute to South Australia’s transition to a more renewable energy landscape.

“Venice is an integrated energy company and one that aims to bring a range of projects to fruition that enable the growing renewables sector in South Australia – this terminal marks our first project and we are thrilled to receive the green light to proceed,” Mr Winter-Dewhirst said.

“Through this terminal, we will open the state to the international gas market and diversify local gas supplies, especially during peak periods,” he said. This will prevent forecast domestic gas shortages from impacting both South Australia and Victoria in the coming years and will place downward pressure on gas prices for local customers.

Construction is expected begin mid-next year and will take 12 - 14 months to complete and commission following financial close.

The first shipment of LNG into the terminal and connection to the South Australian gas network is anticipated around late 2023 to early 2024.
