在美國(guo)完(wan)成第(di)四個(ge)地熱項目的收購
Completion of the acquisition of the fourth geothermal project in USA
近日，開山集團(tuan)股份有限公司(si)全(quan)資(zi)子公司(si)Open Mountain Energy, LLC的(de)全(quan)資(zi)子公司(si)Mayacma Geothermal, LLC（“公司(si)”）與Bottle Rock Power, LLC（“賣方(fang)”，“交易”）分別簽(qian)(qian)署并完成了資(zi)產購買協議和(he)租賃協議，以采購常規地(di)熱(re)井(jing)場(chang)并出租賣方(fang)在加(jia)利福尼亞州Lake縣持(chi)有的(de)地(di)熱(re)資(zi)產和(he)設施，包括 23 口現有的(de)地(di)熱(re)井(jing)。作為交易的(de)一(yi)部分，公司(si)還(huan)同意(yi)承擔與該項目相(xiang)關的(de)責任并已簽(qian)(qian)訂協議，根據(ju)未來(lai)發電量支(zhi)付(fu)特許(xu)權(quan)使用費。
Recently, Mayacma Geothermal LLC, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Open Mountain Energy, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kaishan Group Co., Ltd (“the Company”), signed and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement and Lease Agreement separately with Bottle Rock Power, LLC (“the Seller” and the “Transaction”), to procure the conventional geothermal wellfield and lease the geothermal assets and facilities that the Seller holds in Lake County, California including 23 existing geothermal wells. As part of the Transaction, the Company has also agreed to assume liabilities associated with the project and has entered into an agreement to pay royalties based on future power generation.
對歷史運(yun)營和資(zi)源狀(zhuang)況(kuang)的(de)評估表明，隨著新電廠（100% 空冷的(de)蒸(zheng)汽(qi) ORC）的(de)建(jian)設(she)，利用開山的(de) ORC 發電設(she)備，現有井場每(mei)年能可持(chi)(chi)續發電約(yue) 7.5 兆瓦（凈）。該項目將(jiang)使(shi)用風冷冷凝(ning)器，這將(jiang)允許 100% 的(de)冷凝(ning)蒸(zheng)汽(qi)被重(zhong)新注(zhu)入，這將(jiang)有助于保持(chi)(chi)儲層的穩定性。
Evaluation of historical operations and resource conditions indicates that with construction of a new power plant (Steam ORC with 100% air-cooling) approximately 7.5 MW (Net) can be sustainably generated from the existing wellfield on an annual basis utilizing Kaishan’s ORC power generation equipment. The project will utilize air cooled condensers which will allow 100% of the condensed steam to be reinjected which will help maintain the stability of the reservoir.
Bottle Rock工廠位于Geysers已知地(di)熱資源(yuan)區(qu)內(nei)，Geysers是世界上最大的(de)地(di)熱發(fa)電(dian)(dian)廠綜(zong)合體，從(cong) 350 多口井中抽取蒸(zheng)汽，并從(cong)附近的(de)都會區(qu)重新(xin)注回處理過的(de)污(wu)水。該項(xiang)目位于加利福尼亞州(zhou)舊金山以(yi)北約 72 英里（116 公里）處，于1985年(nian)2月開始商業運(yun)營，原計(ji)劃為55兆(zhao)瓦的(de)項(xiang)目。由(you)于缺(que)乏對系統的(de)補給，整個Geysers的(de)資源(yuan)嚴重下(xia)降，使(shi)得電(dian)(dian)廠規模與可用蒸(zheng)汽資源(yuan)之間(jian)巨大的(de)不(bu)匹配(pei)進(jin)而導致的(de)運(yun)營挑戰，該工廠自2015年(nian)4月1日起(qi)進(jin)入非(fei)運(yun)營狀態。The Bottle Rock plant is located within the Geysers Known Geothermal Resource Area, the world's largest complex of operating geothermal plants drawing steam from more than 350 wells, and reinjecting treated effluent from nearby metro areas. The project is located approximately 72 miles (116 km) north of San Francisco, California. The Bottle Rock plant began commercial operation in February 1985 as an originally planned 55-megawatt project. Because steam resources throughout the entire Geysers region declined severely over this time period due to lack of recharge to the system, operational challenges stemmed from the large mismatch between power plant size and available steam resource. The plant was placed into non-operational status effective April 1, 2015.
The redevelopment of the project will consist of installing a new steam-ORC power plant, and replacing the wet cooling towers with dry cooling, allowing ~ 100% reinjection of the steam condensate to the reservoir, supporting the longer-term sustainability of production from the existing wellfield.
公司已對該項目制定了詳細的項目進度和規劃，在及時獲得許可批準的情況下，期望的COD為2023年12月，目前也處于與潛在交易對手就長期 PPA 進行談判的后期階段。Mayacma Geothermal, LLC 估計該項目將也有資格獲得新可再生能源投資稅收抵免。The Company has made detailed project schedule and planning of the Project, with target COD in December 2023 subject to receiving permitting approvals in a timely manner. It is also in the advanced stages of negotiating with a potential counterparty for a long-term PPA. Mayacma Geothermal LLC estimates that the Project will be eligible for the new renewable energy Investment Tax Credit as well.
這(zhe)將(jiang)(jiang)是公(gong)司在美(mei)國的第 4 個(ge)(ge)地(di)(di)熱特許權（其他為 Whitegrass、Star Peak 和 Fish Lake），也(ye)是公(gong)司在加州(zhou)第一個(ge)(ge)地(di)(di)熱項目(mu)。環境敏感性和水資(zi)源保護是Geysers區域的重中之重，Bottle Rock工(gong)廠(chang)將(jiang)(jiang)就此向(xiang)Geysers展(zhan)示獨(du)特且可持續的發電廠(chang)設計。公(gong)司正在探索(suo)Geysers其他地(di)(di)方的進一步(bu)的發展(zhan)機會。This will be the Company’s 4th geothermal project in the US (the others being Whitegrass, Star Peak and Fish Lake) and the first geothermal project in California. The Bottle Rock plant will demonstrate a unique and sustainable power plant design for Geysers resources, where environmental sensitivity and conservation of water resources is paramount. The company is exploring further development opportunities elsewhere in the Geysers.
