IEA:全球绿色能源增长20年来首次下降

据路透社5月20日伦敦报道，国际能源署(IEA)周三表示，受新冠肺炎疫情影响，今年全球新可再生能源产能增长将出现20年来首次年度下滑，但预计明年增速将会加快。

今年，全球将减少风力涡轮机、太阳能发电厂和其他可再生电力设施的建设，因为商业和工业部门的能源需求都有所下降，而物流问题又拖延了项目的实施。

IEA执行董事法提赫·比罗尔表示:“各国正在继续建造新的风力涡轮机和太阳能发电厂，但速度要慢得多。”

“甚至在冠状病毒疫情之前，世界就需要显著加快可再生能源的部署，以有机会实现其能源和气候目标。”

根据国际能源署的《可再生能源市场最新报告》，今年可再生能源新增装机容量预计将为167吉瓦，比去年减少13%。

但全球可再生能源的总容量仍在扩大，到2020年将增长6%。

今年经济增长放缓反映出，由于供应链中断、封锁措施、社会疏远以及融资方面的挑战，建筑活动出现拖延。

明年，可再生能源新增发电量预计将反弹至2019年的水平，原因是一些被推迟的项目上马，并假设政府继续实施支持性政策。

2020年和2021年的经济增长率预计将比国际能源署在冠状病毒爆发前的预测低10%。

几乎所有成熟市场都受到向下修正的影响，除了美国以外，投资者急于在税收抵免期满前完成项目。

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 align="justify">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 align="justify">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.
