去年全球风能发电量超过60吉瓦

中国石化新闻网讯 据能源世界网3月25日伦敦报道，全球风能理事会（GWEC）在周三发布的市场前景报告显示，去年，全球风电装机容量超过60吉瓦，这是由容量拍卖等市场机制驱动的。

新安装的总容量为60.4 GW，比去年同期增长19％，是有记录以来第二大的年度新增量。

总体而言，去年风能总发电量超过651吉瓦，较2018年增长了17％。

据报告称，增长的主要动力是基于市场的机制，全球风能拍卖量超过40吉瓦，占新装机总容量的三分之二。

2019年，中国和美国仍然是世界上最大的陆上风电市场，占新产能的60%以上。

GWEC预测，未来五年内将增加355吉瓦的风能发电量，相当于到2024年底每年增加的71吉瓦的风能。

GWEC战略总监赵峰表示，由于全球供应链的中断和今年的项目执行，这一预测无疑将受到持续的COVID-19大流行的影响。但是，现在尚无法预测该病毒对更广泛的全球经济和能源市场的影响程度。

GWEC表示，将根据冠状病毒对全球经济和能源市场的影响，修改其2020-2024年预测，并于今年第二季度发布最新的市场前景。

GWEC是代表风能行业的会员制组织。成员来自80多个国家/地区的1,500多家公司，组织和机构。

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.
