据World Energy News网站9月8日开普敦报道,南非政府的一名官员8日在开普敦表示,为了缓解长期电力供应短缺,南非可能在萨达尔尼亚湾西海岸港口建造一个投资200亿兰特(14亿美元)的LNG进口终端,向燃气发电项目提供原料。
为了远离煤炭使本国能源来源实现多元化以及缓解已限制本国经济增长的电力短缺,进口LNG是非洲最发达经济体时下正在考虑的其中一个选项。
包括荷兰皇家壳牌公司、日本三菱公司和南非萨索尔公司在内的数家公司预计在明年第一季度投标南非的3126兆瓦燃气发电项目,招标的准确细节届时将对外公布。

South Africa could build its first 20 billion rand ($1.4 billion) liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facility at the west coast port of Saldanha Bay to feed gas-to-power projects aimed at easing chronic supply shortages, an official said on Tuesday.
Importing LNG is among the options Africa's most developed economy is considering to diversify its energy sources away from coal and ease power shortfalls that have curbed growth.
Several companies, including Shell, Mitsubishi (MBI.F) and Sasol (SASOF), are expected to bid for 3,126 megawatt (MW) gas-to-power projects in the first quarter of 2016, when exact details will become known.
