IEA:全球綠色能源增長20年來首次下降

據路透社5月20日倫敦報道，國際能源署(IEA)周三表示，受新冠肺炎疫情影響，今年全球新可再生能源產能增長將出現20年來首次年度下滑，但預計明年增速將會加快。

今年，全球將減少風力渦輪機、太陽能發電廠和其他可再生電力設施的建設，因為商業和工業部門的能源需求都有所下降，而物流問題又拖延了項目的實施。

IEA執行董事法提赫·比羅爾表示:“各國正在繼續建造新的風力渦輪機和太陽能發電廠，但速度要慢得多。”

“甚至在冠狀病毒疫情之前，世界就需要顯著加快可再生能源的部署，以有機會實現其能源和氣候目標。”

根據國際能源署的《可再生能源市場最新報告》，今年可再生能源新增裝機容量預計將為167吉瓦，比去年減少13%。

但全球可再生能源的總容量仍在擴大，到2020年將增長6%。

今年經濟增長放緩反映出，由于供應鏈中斷、封鎖措施、社會疏遠以及融資方面的挑戰，建筑活動出現拖延。

明年，可再生能源新增發電量預計將反彈至2019年的水平，原因是一些被推遲的項目上馬，并假設政府繼續實施支持性政策。

2020年和2021年的經濟增長率預計將比國際能源署在冠狀病毒爆發前的預測低10%。

幾乎所有成熟市場都受到向下修正的影響，除了美國以外，投資者急于在稅收抵免期滿前完成項目。

Global green energy growth to fall for first time in 20 years: IEA

Global growth in new renewable energy capacity will experience its first annual decline in 20 years this year amid the coronavirus pandemic but is expected to pick up next year, the International Energy Agency said on Wednesday.

The world is set to build fewer wind turbines, solar plants and other installations that produce renewable electricity this year as energy demand has been reduced across commercial and industrial sectors and logistics issues delay projects.

“Countries are continuing to build new wind turbines and solar plants, but at a much slower pace,” IEA executive director Fatih Birol said.

“Even before the Covid-19 pandemic struck, the world needed to significantly accelerate the deployment of renewables to have a chance of meeting its energy and climate goals.”

Renewable capacity additions this year are set to total 167 gigawatts (GW), 13% less than last year, according to the IEA’s Renewable Market Update report.

But overall global renewable power capacity is still expanding and will grow by 6% in 2020.

Slower growth this year reflects delays in construction activity due to supply chain disruptions, lockdown measures and social distancing as well as financing challenges.

Next year, renewable power additions are forecast to rebound to the level reached in 2019, as delayed projects come online and assuming a continuation of supportive government policies.

Growth for 2020 and 2021 combined is expected to be 10% lower than the IEA had previously forecast before the coronavirus outbreak.

Almost all mature markets are affected by downward revisions, except the United States where investors are rushing to finish projects before tax credits expire.
