石油设备网讯 据世界能源新闻网2019年4月14日伦敦报道，澳大利亚可再生能源管道中的太阳能、风能和公用事业存储项目的装机容量将飙升至100吉瓦（1000亿瓦特）以上。目前澳大利亚每年的上游资本支出与投资相当于100亿美元。
挪威著名能源研究和商业咨询公司雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）表示，澳大利亚目前只有1吉瓦（10亿瓦特）的电力由上游企业(大企业)拥有。
雷斯塔能源公司说，到2020年，澳大利亚上游企业将成为本国和地区可再生能源开发领域的主导企业。驱动因素将不仅是经济因素，还有越来越多的人渴望可以乘太阳能的飞速发展之势。
澳大利亚伍德赛德石油公司和桑托斯公司目前不在榜单上，但这两家公司均在该领域取得了长足进步。伍德塞德石油公司时下正在专注于电池存储以取代旋转备用以及最近的氢(或在澳大利亚被称为太阳能出口!)。
桑托斯公司在两方面都处于领先地位——通过与ZEN能源公司组建的合资企业来取代游梁式抽油机上的石油驱动发电机以及电表后端的大型光伏。桑托斯公司日前批准了该公司将在博尼松港实施一项2兆瓦电表后端太阳能光伏开发项目。
这个设施建成后将与澳大利亚电网并网，并在其运营范围内使用电力——太阳能发电厂将减少电力价格和范围2(间接能源)排放。

Aus Upstream Capex Touches at US$10bln pa
The Australian renewable energy pipeline is surging above 100GW of solar, wind and utility storage projects. Investment is currently matching upstream capex, at US$10 bn per annum.
only 1GW is currently owned by Upstream companies – the majors, said Rystad Energy, the energy research and business intelligence company.
By the end of the decade, upstream companies will be the dominant renewable developers in country and regionally. The driver will be economics as much as an increasing desire to ride the solar-coaster.
Woodside and Santos are absent from the chart (for now) but both are making strides in the sector. Woodside is focusing on battery storage replacing spinning reserves and more recently in hydrogen (or solar exports as dubbed in Australia!).
Santos is pioneering on two fronts – replacing oil driven generators on beam pumps and behind-the-meter large scale PV through a joint venture with ZEN Energy, sanctioning a 2MW behind-the-meter solar PV development at their Port Bonython facility (SA).
The facility is grid-connected and uses electricity within its operations – the solar farm reduces both exposure to electricity prices and Scope 2 (indirect energy) emissions.
