编制按：我集团占有并建设的Orpower22(MenengaiⅢ)地热发电站日前进入到调试阶段，，，与此同时，，，由世界银行旗下国际金融公司（IFC）与非洲开发银行组成的银团贷款也进入到最后的核准环节。2025年11月，，，非洲开发银行董事会核准了该项贷款，，，实现了最后的审批法式。MenengaiⅢ发电站发电机组正在逐一并网发电，，，进入到为期30天的测试、、验证阶段，，，预计将于2月底、、3月初实现COD（贸易运营）。本编纂部现转发非洲开发银行颁布的新闻稿，，，以飨读者。
去年11月，，，非洲开发银行集团董事会核准了一笔1650万美元的贷款，，，用于支持35MW OrPower Twenty-Two （OTTL）地热电站的开发，，，这是一个旗舰类的可再生能源项目，，，将提升肯尼亚的基载发电能力并加快其清洁能源转型。
The Board of Directors of the African Development Bank Group has approved a loan of $16.5 million to support the development of the 35 MW OrPower Twenty-Two (OTTL) Geothermal Power Plant last November, a flagship renewable energy project that will increase Kenya’s baseload generation and accelerate its clean energy transition.
该项目由OTTL开发，，，是Menengai地热田的第三个独立发电商（IPP）项目，，，项目位于肯尼亚首都内罗毕西北180公里的Nakuru市北部。Menengai别的两个项目是已投入运营的35MW Sosian Menengai地热电站，，，以及目前由非洲开发银行赞助、、正在建设中的35MW Globeleq Menengai地热项目。
The project is being developed by OTTL, an Independent Power Producer (IPP) in the Menengai geothermal field, just north of Nakuru Town, 180 km northwest of the capital, Nairobi. It is the third power plant in the field, complementing the operational 35 MW Sosian Menengai Geothermal plant, and the 35 MW Globeleq Menengai Geothermal project, of which the latter is still under construction with separate Bank financing.
这些项目将充分阐扬Menengai地热田全数105MW的潜力。Menengai地热田由Geothermal Development Company (GDC,地热开发公司）开发，，，非洲开发银行也为其提供过1.45亿美元融资支持。
Together, these projects will unlock the full 105 MW potential of the first phase of the Menengai geothermal field. The Menengai field itself was developed using an earlier $145 million financing to Geothermal Development Company (GDC) from the African Development Bank.
作为国有地热开发公司的GDC掌管钻井、、地热资源的出产、、以及给新的电站供给蒸汽？？夏嵫堑缌τ胝彰鞴荆ü鹊缤┦堑厝鹊缯疚ㄒ坏牡缌Τ泄荷蹋，，与项目公司有长达25年的购电和谈。
GDC, a government-owned entity, is responsible for drilling, producing, and supplying quality steam to the new power plant. Kenya Power and Lighting Company, also state-owned, will be the sole off-taker for the geothermal power plant, under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
除了扩大产能外，，，该项目还将以全国最低的电价之一贯肯尼亚国度电网提供平价、、可持续的基载电力，，，助力降低总体电力成本。一旦投入运营，，，该电站每年将产生约301Gwh的靠得住清洁能源，，，加强电力供给不变性。它还将在肯尼亚的能源结构多样化、、削减对昂贵的柴油发电的依赖方面阐扬关键作用。
Beyond expanding generation capacity, the project will deliver affordable, sustainable baseload power to Kenya’s national grid at one of the lowest tariffs in the country, helping to drive down overall electricity costs. When fully operational, the plant will generate approximately 301 Gigawatt hours of reliable, clean energy annually, strengthening supply stability. It will also play a critical role in diversifying Kenya’s energy mix and reducing dependence on expensive diesel-fueled generation.
该电站预计将带来巨大的气象效益，，，蕴含在25年的购电和谈期间削减的190万吨温室气体排放。
The plant is expected to deliver substantial climate benefits, including greenhouse gas emission avoidance of 1.9 million tonnes over the 25-year PPA period.
非洲开发银行能源金融解决规划、、政策和律例局局长Wale Shonibare暗示：“Menengai模式展示了政商合作的力量，，，由当局主导的资源开发为地热发电领域的个人投资创制了前提。这种步骤带来了互惠互利的局面：地热开发公司（GDC）从蒸汽销售获得不变收入，，，使其可能在Menengai的重大投资中获利，，，并将资金重新投入到全国领域内地热开发的扩张中，，，同时私营部门推动高效发电。我行很高慢能为非洲这种拥有刷新性且可复制的模式提供支持！！
Wale Shonibare, Director of the Bank’s Energy Financial Solutions, Policy, and Regulations Department said, “The Menengai model demonstrates the power of public-private collaboration, where government-led resource development unlocks private investment in geothermal generation, delivering mutual benefits: Geothermal Development Company secures stable revenues from steam sales, allowing it to monetise its significant investment in Menengai and reinvest in expanding geothermal development nationwide, while the private sector drives efficient power generation.”
OTTL公司董事总经理齐井文暗示，，，“我们很荣幸地使用独立研发、、占有齐全自主知识产权的新一代地热发电技术先后建设了Orpower Menengai地热电站，，，践行了公司‘为节约地球做贡献’的企业使命。国际金融机构的支持将使非洲可能更深刻地参加新绿色能源的发展！！
“We are honoured to be constructing the Orpower Menengai Geothermal Power Plant using independently developed, fully proprietary next-generation geothermal power technology thereby fulfilling our corporate mission of ‘contributing to saving the planet’,” OTTL Director, Qi Jingwen said. “Support by international financial institutions will enable deeper participation in the development of new green energy in Africa.”
该项目加强了世行的能源优先事项，，，同时通过直接支持该国《使命300能源左券》的第一支柱，，，推动了肯尼亚更宽泛的发展议程。通过为该国到2030年将地热能从940兆瓦增长到1824兆瓦的指标做出贡献，，，它还通过私营部门的投资援手肯尼亚加快向100%清洁能源的过渡。
”This project reinforces the Bank’s energy priorities while advancing Kenya’s broader development agenda by directly supporting Pillar I of the country’s Mission 300 Energy Compact. By contributing to the country’s goal of increasing geothermal capacity from 940 MW to 1,824 MW by 2030, it is also helping accelerate Kenya’s transition to 100% clean energy through private sector investment.
世行的融资补充了国际金融公司（IFC）预期的额外资金，，，使该项主张总贷款额达到6440万美元，，，而项目预计总成本为9190万美元。
The Bank’s financing complements additional funding expected from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), bringing the project’s total debt to $64.4 million out of a total estimated project cost of $91.9 million.
