菲律宾正与沙特阿拉伯、俄罗斯和美国商谈在这座依赖燃料进口的国家储存石油，以对冲伊朗战争引发的燃料价格飙升。
The Philippines is in talks with Saudi Arabia, Russia and the United States to store oil in the fuel-import-dependent nation, in a bid to hedge against fuel price spikes driven by the Iran war.
菲律宾能源部长莎伦·加林表示，这个东南亚国家几乎全部能源需求都依赖进口，还计划提高柴油和燃气发电量，以弥补厄尔尼诺天气现象预计导致的2027年上半年水电发电量下降60%、太阳能发电量下降20%的影响。
The Southeast Asian nation, which imports nearly all its energy needs, also planned to increase diesel and gas-fired power output to make up for an estimated 60 per cent decline in hydropower and 20 per cent fall in solar output in the first half of 2027 due to the El Nino weather phenomenon, Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said.
加林表示，菲律宾还在与日本、科威特、阿联酋和澳大利亚就石油储存进行商谈。今年2月美国和以色列对伊朗发动打击导致供应中断后，菲律宾希望建立石油储备。
The Philippines was also in talks with Japan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Australia on oil storage, Garin said, as it looked to build stockpiles after the US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February disrupted supplies.
加林在新加坡国际能源周会议间隙表示：“如果厄尔尼诺在4月结束，那正是我们夏季开始的时候。因此，这将对我国构成持续压力，而这一压力始于中东的石油危机。”
“If El Nino finishes in April, that’s the time that summer starts for us. So this would be a prolonged pressure for us, which started with the oil crisis in the Middle East,” Garin said on the sidelines of the Singapore International Energy Week conference.
欧佩克主导国沙特阿拉伯在其港口和石油设施遭到袭击后，正在寻找储存其石油的地点。本周，沙特宣布与新加坡达成初步协议，从2027年起将沙特原油储存在新加坡的岩洞中。
Opec kingpin Saudi Arabia, which is exploring locations to store its oil following attacks on its ports and oil facilities, announced this week an initial agreement to store Saudi crude in Singapore’s rock caverns starting in 2027.
加林表示，菲律宾计划明年在巴丹省建造其首个政府所有的储油罐，用于存放战略石油储备。她补充说，政府一直在与东京合作建立区域石油储备，这将补充其国家储备。
The Philippines planned to build its first government-owned storage tank next year at Bataan to hold strategic oil reserves, Garin said, adding that the government had been working with Tokyo to build regional oil stockpiles, which would complement its national reserve.
加林表示，菲律宾目前的燃料库存为55天，高于15天的最低要求。她补充说，政府在私人设施中拥有100万桶石油储备。
Fuel inventories in the Philippines were at 55 days currently, up from a 15-day minimum requirement, Garin said. The government had 1 million barrels of oil stocks in private facilities, she added.
她说：“我们从100万（桶）开始，并在未来几年逐步扩大，目标是达到60天。”她补充说，这一数量将在原油和成品油之间平均分配。
“We start with 1 million [barrels] and scale it up over the years with the objective of reaching 60 days,” she said, adding that the volume would be split evenly between crude and fuels.
政府数据显示，截至5月，该国石油产品平均日需求量约为7800万升，即约49.06万桶。
The country’s average daily demand for petroleum products was about 78 million litres, or about 490,600 barrels, as of May, government data showed.
这个拥有1.14亿人口的国家还计划在未来五年内新增2吉瓦燃煤电厂，以确保可靠的全天候电力供应，作为其计划到2028年新增8吉瓦可再生能源装机容量的补充。
The country of 114 million also plans to install 2 gigawatts of new coal-fired power plants over the next five years to ensure reliable, round-the-clock power to complement 8 gigawatts of additional renewable capacity it plans to add by 2028.
加林表示，政府热衷于使用清洁能源，但也面临着电力需求上升和地理限制的挑战。
Garin said the government was keen on using clean power sources, but also faced rising power demand and geographical limitations.
“我们的国家需要发展。要实现发展，就必须拥有稳定、安全的能源。仅为了转型而牺牲这一点，对我们国家没有帮助，”加林说。
“Our country needs to progress. And for you to be progressive, you have to have steady, secure energy. And sacrificing that just to transition, that would not help our country,” Garin said.
“我们是一个群岛国家，不能仅仅在一个小岛上建设5000兆瓦的太阳能发电。”
“We’re an archipelago, we cannot just have 5,000 megawatts of solar in a small island.”
