肯尼亚法庭取消中国支持的发电厂的建设许可证 要求发电厂重新进行环境评估

“肯亚首座中资火力电厂 环保计画不周遭判暂停建设”,2019年6月27日

肯亚国家环境法庭(Kenya's National Environmental)…做出仲裁,称因官员未能对该国东北部拉穆(Lamu)地区、由中国协助建设的首座火力发电厂做出全面环境评估,而停止该发电厂建设。法庭表示,中国支持的发电厂建设未充分咨询公众,且处理和储存有毒煤灰的计画不充分也不明确。

《Quartz》报导,肯亚国家环境法庭… 取消了开发商Amu Power的建设许可证,要求该厂商对位在拉穆地区、由中国协助建设的肯亚首座火力发电厂进行新的环境评估。该发电厂耗资20亿美元,由中国公司和肯亚财团Amu Power共同投资和建设。法庭指出,该火力发电厂建设未经充分公众咨询,且未有明确、充分的有毒煤灰处理和储存计画。

报导指出,此裁决是环保运动者和当地社区的胜利,其3年来一直认为,火力发电厂不仅会污染空气,还会破坏脆弱的海洋生态系统,和渔业社区的生计。

该判决也打击了肯尼亚当局,因其期待火力发电厂将有助于满足肯亚快速增长的电力需求。虽然现任肯亚总统甘耶达(Uhuru Kenyatta)宣布,预计到2020年该国将100%使用绿能,但仍为火力发电厂预留了约975英亩的土地,预计该发电厂完工后,将产生1050千瓩的电力。

不过,虽然最新判决推迟了发电厂建设,但该项目并未被取消,Amu Power仍能申请新的许可证,或在下个月内对判决提出申诉。

肯亚此座火力发电厂,为中国推动其公司在海外开发燃煤电厂的案例之一,虽然中国大幅增加其国内的可再生能源投资,但中国企业已在国外建立数百家火力发电厂,甚至包括很少使用燃煤,或根本没有煤矿的国家。且中国的发电厂等投资建设,也因其补贴承诺而吸引非洲国家…
