???? 據能源全球3月6日消息稱，Enel通過其美國可再生能源子公司Enel Green Power North America，已開始建設Azure Sky風能和存儲項目，這是其在全球范圍內首個將風力和電池儲能整合在一起的大型混合動力項目。

????通過一份100兆瓦的虛擬電力購買協議(VPPA)，Enel將向凱洛格公司出售Azure Sky風能項目每年交付給電網的部分電力（360吉瓦時），這相當于凱洛格北美制造設施使用電量的50%。這個350兆瓦的風電場位于美國德克薩斯州的斯洛克莫頓縣，配合大約137兆瓦的電池存儲，將是Enel在美國的第三個混合動力項目，該項目將可再生能源工廠與公用事業規模的電池存儲相結合。

????“作為我們第一個將風能和儲能結合在一起的大型項目，以及我們全球最大的混合動力工廠，Enel Green Power首席執行官、Enel全球發電業務負責人Salvatore Bernabei表示：“Azure Sky證明了Enel繼續致力于引領能源轉型，向100%可再生能源電網轉型的持續承諾。這種轉變得到了商業客戶的支持和加速，例如凱洛格公司，他們將可持續發展作為其業務的核心。”

????根據VPPA的條款，凱洛格將每年從Enel購買約360吉瓦時的電力，為這家領先的植物性食品公司實現50%以上的可再生能源和50%的全球美好日目標做出貢獻，將其Scope 1和Scope 2的溫室氣體排放減少65%。凱洛格購買的可再生電力相當于北美每年4.3萬個家庭的用電量，據估計，它將避免超過25萬噸的二氧化碳排放，相當于美國33萬英畝森林每年吸收的碳量，比美國科羅拉多州的落基山國家公園還要大。

????Azure Sky項目的79臺風力渦輪機預計將產生超過1300吉瓦時的年發電量，這些電量將被輸送到電網并為位于同一設施中的電池充電。Azure Sky項目預計每年產生的電力相當于避免向大氣中排放超過84.2萬噸/年的二氧化碳。電池存儲系統將能夠存儲風力渦輪機產生的電力，同時也提供服務，提高電網的靈活性。

????Enel constructs hybrid renewable energy project in Texas

????Enel, through its US renewable subsidiary, Enel Green Power North America, has started construction of Azure Sky wind and storage, its first large-scale hybrid project globally to integrate wind and battery storage at one site.

????Through a 100 MW virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA), Enel will sell to Kellogg Company a 360 GWh portion of the electricity delivered to the grid annually from the Azure Sky wind project, which is equal to 50% of the volume of electricity used across Kellogg’s North American manufacturing facilities. Located in Throckmorton County, Texas, US, the 350 MW wind farm, paired with approximately 137 MW of battery storage, will be Enel’s third hybrid project in the US that integrates a renewable energy plant with utility-scale battery storage.

????“As our first large-scale project to pair wind and storage, and our largest hybrid plant globally, Azure Sky demonstrates Enel’s continued commitment to leading the energy transition towards a 100% renewable powered electric grid,” said Salvatore Bernabei, Chief Executive Officer of Enel Green Power and Head of Enel’s Global Power Generation business line. “This transition is supported and accelerated by commercial customers, such as Kellogg Company, who are placing sustainability at the core of their business.”

????Under the terms of the VPPA, Kellogg will purchase approximately 360 GWh/yr of electricity from Enel, contributing to the leading plant-based food company’s collective efforts to achieve over 50% renewable energy and reach 50% of its global Better Days goal to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 65%. Kellogg’s renewable electricity purchase is the equivalent amount of electricity it takes power more than 43 000 homes each year in North America and is estimated to avoid over 250 000 tpy of CO2 emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by 330 000 acres of US forest each year, which is larger than Rocky Mountain National Park, located in Colorado, US.

????The 79 wind turbines at the Azure Sky project are expected to generate over 1300 GWh/yr, which will be delivered to the grid and will charge the battery located in the same facility. The expected annual electricity generated by the Azure Sky project is equivalent to avoiding the emission of over 842 000 tpy of CO2 into the atmosphere. The battery storage system will be capable of storing the power generated by the wind turbines, while also providing services to enhance grid flexibility.
