2026年海上风能将成为英国最大的可再生能源

    中国石化新闻网讯 据OE网站10月28日报道，到2026年，英国的海上风电装机发电量将超过陆上风电装机发电量。英国将提前4年实现到2030年可再生能源装机发电量翻番的目标。

    挪威能源情报公司Rystad Energy称，这些目标将通过一波主要是风力发电的投资来实现。

    雷斯塔表示，到2026年，太阳能和风力发电厂的总装机发电量将从目前的33吉瓦攀升至64吉瓦，而海上风能将成为该国最大的绿色能源来源。

    2020年，海上风电装机发电量为10.5吉瓦，到2026年将增至27.5吉瓦，超过陆上风电装机发电量。陆上风电将以24.3吉瓦降至第二位，高于目前的13.5吉瓦。太阳能发电能力也将增长，尽管增速放缓，从目前的8.9吉瓦到2021年将达到12.3吉瓦。

    雷斯塔表示，虽然海上风电量将在2026年之后继续增加，到本十年末达到近40吉瓦，但陆上风电的增长预计将停滞。

    雷斯塔能源公司可再生能源主管Gero Farruggio称，预计海上风力的快速部署将需要大幅增加涡轮机的规模，这意味着需要大幅扩大英国的制造能力。政府最近推出了一项新计划，以加强大型港口制造中心，并提供资金支持以增强海上风能制造能力，这将有助于这一转变。

    海上风力有了显著的增长，主要是通过CFD（差异合同）计划。该公司表示，海上风能的执行价格在2019年9月创下每兆瓦时（MWh）51.54美元的历史新低，比2017年拍卖中的最低执行价低30％。

    Rystad: Offshore Wind to Become UK's Largest Renewable Energy Source in 2026

    Installed offshore wind capacity will surpass onshore wind in the UK by 2026, and the UK will meet its goal to double its renewable energy capacity by 2030 four years early.

    This is according to the Norwegian energy intelligence company Rystad Energy, which says the targets will be met by a wave of mostly wind power investments.

    "Total installed capacity of solar and wind power plants will climb to 64 gigawatt (GW) in 2026 from close to 33 GW today, with offshore wind taking over the throne as the country’s biggest green energy source," Rystad said.

    From 10.5 GW in 2020, installed offshore wind capacity is set to rise to 27.5 GW in 2026, overtaking onshore wind, which will drop to second place with 24.3 GW, up from its current 13.5 GW. Solar capacity will also grow, albeit at a slower pace, reaching 12.3 GW in 2021 from 8.9 GW today.

    While offshore wind capacity will continue to rise after 2026 and reach nearly 40 GW by the end of the decade, onshore wind’s growth is projected to stall, Rystad said.

    “The expected rapid deployment of offshore wind will require a substantial increase in the size of turbines, which implies a need for major expansion of UK manufacturing capacity. The government’s recent launch of a new scheme to bolster large-scale portside manufacturing hubs, involving financial support to also strengthen offshore wind manufacturing capability, will assist this transition,“ says Gero Farruggio, Head of Renewables at Rystad Energy.

    "Offshore wind has witnessed significant growth, mainly through the CfD (Contracts for Difference) scheme. The strike prices for offshore wind hit a record low of $51.54 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in September 2019, 30% below the lowest strike price registered in the 2017 auction," the company said.
