石油设备网讯 据路透社新加坡、达卡报道,周三,一家由孟加拉国Summit公司控股的公司表示,它已与日本JERA Asia公司签署了一份谅解备忘录,以发展能源基础设施,包括考克斯Bazar Matarbari地区的港口设施。
Summit公司在声明中表示表示,根据谅解备忘录,两家公司都将启动该项目,该项目每年能处理2000万吨大宗货物,该项目的投资估计将超过5亿美元。
声明称:“这一大型能源基础设施项目将通过在考克斯Bazar Matarbari地区开发各种货运和初级燃料码头,为孟加拉国的贸易提供动力。”
孟加拉国Summit公司为总部位于新加坡Summit Power International旗下子公司,在孟加拉国拥有发电资产,由Summit集团拥有。
JERA Asia公司为日本最大液化天然气买家JERA的子公司,负责能源相关领域的项目开发。
这份备忘录是孟加拉国总理谢赫·哈西娜本周正式访问日本时签署的。
周三,日本与孟加拉国签署了1326亿日元(12亿美元)的官方发展援助协议,以帮助这个南亚国家改善其经济状况。
官员们说,自1972年以来,孟加拉国从日本获得了113亿美元的官方发展援助。
Summit称,该项目预计将在两家公司与孟加拉国政府签署明确的项目协议后两年内投入运营。
孟加拉国能源部高级官员表示,这是该国最大的1.5万亿塔卡(合180亿美元)基础设施项目的一部分。在整个政府项目下,政府将在Matarbari建造一个深海港,四个单位的燃煤发电厂,发电能力为2400兆瓦,以及一个在Matarbari也有设施的液化天然气燃料发电厂。此外,还将在Moheskkhali建立8座燃煤发电厂以及LNG发电厂,年产能将达8320兆瓦。Summit已经提交了一份关于建造几个发电厂和其他项目的提案。
在港口,孟加拉国还计划建立设施,以装卸112000吨煤,为12座大型燃煤发电厂提供燃料。在Matarbari,还将建立每天10亿立方英尺的液化天然气供应设施。

Bangladesh's Summit, Japan's JERA to invest $500 million in Cox's Bazar energy project
A company controlled by Bangladesh’s Summit Group said on Wednesday it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Japan’s JERA Asia to develop energy infrastructure including port facilities in the Matarbari area in Cox’s Bazar.
Under the MOU, both companies will initiate the project, which is capable of handling 20 million tonnes of bulk cargo a year, Summit Corp said in a statement. The project will have an estimated investment of more than $500 million.
“This large energy infrastructure project will provide impetus to Bangladesh’s trade by the development of various terminals for cargo and primary fuel in the Matarbari area in Cox’s Bazar,” the statement said.
Summit Corp is a subsidiary of Singapore-based Summit Power International, which has power generation assets in Bangladesh and is owned by Summit Group.
JERA Asia is a subsidiary of JERA, Japan’s top buyer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and handles project development in energy-related areas.
The MOU was signed during Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s official visit to Japan this week.
On Wednesday, Japan signed a 132.6 billion yen ($1.2 billion) official development assistance deal with Bangladesh to help the South Asian nation improve its
Since 1972, Bangladesh has received $11.3 billion in official development aid from Japan, officials said.
The project is expected to be operational within two years of the signing of a firm project agreement between the companies and the Bangladeshi government, Summit said.
This is a part of Bangladesh’s largest, 1.5 trillion taka ($18 billion) infrastructure project, said a senior energy ministry official, who asked not to be named as he is not authorized to talk to media.
Under the overall government project, the government will build a deep seaport at Matarbari, four units of a coal-fired power plant with a capacity to produce 2,400 megawatts of electricity, and a liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled power plant, also with facilities at Matarbari.
In addition, eight coal-fired and LNG-based power plants with 8,320 MW capacity will be set up at Moheskkhali, the official added.
Summit has submitted a proposal to build several power plants and other projects, the official said.
At the seaport, Bangladesh plans to create facilities to load and unload 112,000 tonnes of coal to feed 12 large coal-fired power plants. 1 billion cubic feet per day of LNG supply facilities will also be created at Matarbari.
