據能源世界網3月25日倫敦報道，全球風能理事會（GWEC）在周三發布的市場前景報告顯示，去年，全球風電裝機容量超過60吉瓦，這是由容量拍賣等市場機制驅動的。

新安裝的總容量為60.4 GW，比去年同期增長19％，是有記錄以來第二大的年度新增量。

總體而言，去年風能總發電量超過651吉瓦，較2018年增長了17％。

據報告稱，增長的主要動力是基于市場的機制，全球風能拍賣量超過40吉瓦，占新裝機總容量的三分之二。

2019年，中國和美國仍然是世界上最大的陸上風電市場，占新產能的60%以上。

GWEC預測，未來五年內將增加355吉瓦的風能發電量，相當于到2024年底每年增加的71吉瓦的風能。

GWEC戰略總監趙峰表示，由于全球供應鏈的中斷和今年的項目執行，這一預測無疑將受到持續的COVID-19大流行的影響。但是，現在尚無法預測該病毒對更廣泛的全球經濟和能源市場的影響程度。

GWEC表示，將根據冠狀病毒對全球經濟和能源市場的影響，修改其2020-2024年預測，并于今年第二季度發布最新的市場前景。

GWEC是代表風能行業的會員制組織。成員來自80多個國家/地區的1,500多家公司，組織和機構。

Global new wind capacity reached 60 GW last year: GWEC

More than 60 gigawatts (GW) of wind energy capacity was installed around the world last year, driven by market-based mechanisms such as capacity auctions, a market outlook by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) showed on Wednesday.

New installations totalled 60.4 GW, up 19 per cent from a year earlier and the second biggest annual addition on record.

Overall, total wind energy capacity last year was more than 651 GW, up 17 per cent from 2018.

The main driver of the growth was market-based mechanisms, with auctioned wind capacity surpassing 40 GW worldwide, accounting for two-thirds of total new capacity, the report said.

In 2019, China and the United States remained the world's largest onshore wind markets, together accounting for more than 60 per cent of new capacity.

GWEC forecasts that more than 355 GW of wind energy capacity added over the next five years, equivalent to 71 GW of wind energy added each year to the end of 2024.

"This forecast will undoubtedly be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, due to disruptions to global supply chains and project execution in 2020," said Feng Zhao, strategy director at GWEC.

"However, it is too soon to predict the extent of the virus' impact on the wider global economy and energy markets," Zhao said.

GWEC said it will revise its 2020-2024 forecasts in the light of the impact of coronavirus on the global economy and energy markets and publish an updated market outlook in the second quarter of this year.

GWEC is a member-based organisation which represents the wind energy sector. Members represent over 1,500 companies, organisations and institutions in more than 80 countries.
