IEA：可再生能源热潮将于明年重启

据今日油价网站5月20日消息 国际能源署（IEA）在一份新的报告中称，可再生能源行业今年的增长率将下降，但明年将复苏并开始再次增长。

IEA表示，今年将是20年来太阳能和风能新增产能首次出现下降，并指出，迄今为止，太阳能和风能行业已表现出对疫情带来的影响的强大抵御能力。

即便如此，许多项目仍将推迟，导致今年太阳能和风能新增发电量较2019年减少13%。然而，2021年，新增可再生能源总量将恢复到2019年的水平，尤其是因为两个大型水电项目将于2021年投产。

这意味着，太阳能和风能的新增发电量增长速度将低于IEA此前的预期，增幅将高达10%。

然而，这不应成为担忧的理由，因为此前的预测总是乐观的，依赖于政府对可再生能源的持续支持。所有的预测都无法预测疫情及其对世界的影响程度。

IEA负责人法蒂赫·比托尔说：“可再生能源电力对危机影响的恢复力是个好消息，但不能想当然。”

他补充说：“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。甚至在疫情爆发之前，世界就需要大大加快可再生能源的部署，以便有机会实现其能源和气候目标。在当今非同寻常的健康和经济挑战中，各国政府不能忽视加快清洁能源转型的基本任务，以使我们能够在安全和可持续的道路上摆脱危机。”

IEA: The Renewable Energy Boom Will Restart In 2021

The renewable energy industry will see a decline in growth this year but will recover and start growing again next year, the International Energy Agency has said in a new report.

This year would be the first in two decades when new solar and wind power capacity additions will see a dip, the IEA said, noting that so far, the industry has demonstrated strong resilience to the consequences of the pandemic.

Even so, many projects will be delayed, leading to 13 percent fewer solar and wind power capacity additions this year, compared with 2019. In 2021, however, total new renewable energy additions will recover to 2019 levels, not least because of two large-scale hydropower projects set to come online in 2021.

This means that solar and wind will see slower growth for new additions than previously expected by the authority, and by as much as 10 percent.

However, this should not be cause for worry as previous forecasts were invariably upbeat, leaning on continued government support for renewable energy. None of the forecasts could anticipate the coronavirus pandemic and the extent of its impact on the world.

“The resilience of renewable electricity to the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis is good news but cannot be taken for granted,” the head of IEA, Fatih Bitol, said.

“Countries are continuing to build new wind turbines and solar plants, but at a much slower pace. 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. Amid today’s extraordinary health and economic challenges, governments must not lose sight of the essential task of stepping up clean energy transitions to enable us to emerge from the crisis on a secure and sustainable path,” he added.
