西拉資源(ASX:西拉)董事會批準巴拉馬太陽能電池系統最終投資決定

西拉資源公司(西拉)董事會已做出最終投資決策(FID ),同意在其位于莫桑比克的Balama graphite項目中安裝太陽能和電池混合動力系統。

太陽能電池系統(SBS)的建設將按照建設-擁有-運營-轉讓(BOOT)的安排進行,包括與CrossBoundary Energy (CBE)擁有的一家莫桑比克公司項目公司簽訂的10年經營租賃和經營維護合同。

該項目的資金由CBE提供,CBE將通過項目公司在整個啟動期內建造、擁有和運營SBS。

Balama SBS的運營和所有權將在10年啟動期結束時無償移交給Syrah。

Syrah選擇了一個11.25 MWp的太陽能光伏(“PV”)裝置,結合一個8.5 MW/MWh的電池儲能系統,與Balama現有的柴油發電廠相結合。

該公司表示,SBS計劃在2023年3月季度結束前投入使用。

“大規模太陽能和電池混合動力系統的安裝有望降低Balama的運營成本,并進一步加強Balama天然石墨產品的ESG證書,”Syrah董事總經理兼首席執行官Shaun Verner說。

“這個項目代表了降低巴拉馬全球變暖潛力的第一步。

“由于前期資本成本較低,Syrah根據10年啟動安排應支付的固定成本較低,并且柴油消耗減少可節省大量成本,因此該項目預計將產生可觀的資本回報。”

Syrah表示,以每月1.5萬噸的生產率計算,SBS預計可為C1節省每噸約8美元(10.55澳元)的成本。

Syrah Resources (ASX:SYR) board green-lights Balama solar battery system final investment decision

Syrah Resources (SYR) approves the final investment decision (FID) for the installation of a solar and battery hybrid power system at its Balama graphite project in MozambiqueConstruction of the solar battery system (SBS) will be delivered under a 10-year build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) arrangement with a Mozambique incorporated project company owned by CrossBoundary Energy (CBE)Funding for the project is being provided by CBE, who will via the project company build, own and operate the SBS across the BOOT termOperation and ownership of the Balama SBS will then be transferred to Syrah at no cost at the end of the 10-year BOOT periodSyrah says the SBS is scheduled to be commissioned and operating before the end of the March 2023 quarter

SYR said that it is currently financing through online financing, which is expected to be completed before March next year

Syrah Resources’ (SYR) board has given the final investment decision (FID) go-ahead for the installation of a solar and battery hybrid power system at its Balama graphite project in Mozambique.

Construction of the solar battery system (SBS) will be carried out under a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) arrangement, comprising a 10-year operating lease and an operating and maintenance contract with a Mozambique incorporated project company owned by CrossBoundary Energy (CBE).

Funding for the project is being provided by CBE, who will via the project company build, own and operate the SBS across the BOOT term.

Operation and ownership of the Balama SBS will then be transferred to Syrah at no cost at the end of the 10-year BOOT period.

Syrah selected a 11.25 MWp solar photovoltaic (“PV”) installation combined with an 8.5 MW/MWh battery energy storage system to be integrated with Balama’s existing diesel power generation plant.

The company said the SBS was scheduled to be commissioned and operating before the end of the March 2023 quarter.

“The installation of a large-scale solar and battery hybrid power system is expected to reduce operating costs at Balama and further strengthens the ESG credentials of Balama’s natural graphite products,” Syrah Managing Director and CEO Shaun Verner said.

“This project represents an initial step in reducing the global warming potential of Balama.

“The project is forecast to generate an attractive return on capital due to the low up-front capital costs, fixed costs payable by Syrah under the 10-year BOOT arrangement and the significant cost savings from reduced diesel consumption.”

Syrah said the SBS was tipped to derive C1 cost savings about US$8 (A$10.55) per tonne at a 15,000 tonnes per month production rate.
