据法新社12月11日报道,以色列私营的多拉德(Dorad)能源公司已经就进口埃及天然气事宜与一家以埃合营企业签定了一项价值达20亿美元的合同。
The deal was signed last week by Dorad and East Mediterranean Gas (EMG), a joint venture between Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. and Israel's private Merhav energy firm.
该项合同是在上周签定的,与多拉德签约的那家东地中海天然气公司(EMG)实际上是由埃及通用石油公司和以色列私营的梅尔哈夫能源公司共同设立的一家合资企业。
"Under the contact signed last Thursday in Cairo by the CEO of Dorad Energy, reserve general Oren Shahor, EMG will each year provide 100 million dollars worth of natural gas, for a period of 15 to 20 years," said Dorad spokesman Ido Tal on Monday.
"这项合同是由身为多拉德能源公司CEO的预备役将军奥伦·沙霍尔于12月7日在开罗与对方签定的。按照合同规定,EMG方面将会在今后15年到20年的时间里,每年向我方提供价值1亿美元的天然气,"多拉德公司的发言人伊多·塔尔在11日表示。
The sum is expected to cover one billion cubic meters (35 billion cubic feet) of gas annually, media reports said.
另据有关媒体的报道,每年输送过来的天然气预计能够达到10亿立方米(350亿立方英尺)。
Dorad plans to build Israel's first private power plant by 2009 near the southern city of Ashkelon. The plant will have a capacity of 800 megawatts, or eight percent of the current capacity of the national grid.
多拉德公司计划于2009年以前在位于以色列南部的阿什凯隆市附近建成该国首家私营发电厂。该发电厂的预期发电能力为800兆瓦,即相当于以色列目前全国总发电量的8%。
Media reports said the terms of the deal are expected to boost prospects for other private electricity firms to build new power plants.
双方在该合同内所达成的具体条款有望鼓励以色列其它私营电力公司同样更加积极的兴建新的发电厂。
In 2005, EMG signed a memorandum of understanding with the Jewish state's public Israeli Electricity Company (IEC).
EMG在2005年时还曾与一家名叫以色列电力公司(IEC)的上市企业签署过一项谅解备忘录。
Under the terms, Egypt is to supply Israel with 1.7 billion cubic meters (60 billion cubic feet) of natural gas per year through a maritime pipeline to Ashkelon starting from 2007.
按照该备忘录的规定,埃及方面将从2007年起通过终点设在阿什凯隆的海底输气管道向以色列每年提供17亿立方米(600亿立方英尺)的天然气。
Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab countries to have signed peace deals with Israel.
而埃及和约旦则是目前仅有的两个已经与以色列签定了和平协议的阿拉伯国家。
