中国石化新闻网讯 据石油新闻12月26日消息称当人们提到可再生能源时，首先想到的并不是德克萨斯州。那很可能是加利福尼亚。然而，得克萨斯州已经是该国最大的风力发电场生产地区，现在也有望成为美国最大的太阳能发电区。 一家私营公司Invenergy正在德克萨斯州建造一座1.31吉瓦的太阳能发电厂，预计2023年完工，届时将成为美国最大的太阳能发电厂，能够为30万户家庭提供足够的能源。 根据《华尔街日报》对该项目和更广泛的行业趋势的报道，德克萨斯州成为太阳能和风能的领先者只是时间问题。它拥有理想的条件，而且随着太阳能成本的下降，更多的太阳能发电厂将有可能在这个孤星州出现。 它们将使分布在161个风电场的风力发电装机容量增加到30.9吉瓦。根据美国风能协会的数据，去年，这一容量提供了德克萨斯州17.5%的电力，为774.58万户家庭供电。同年，德克萨斯州的风力发电帮助减少了4900万吨的二氧化碳排放。 另一方面，根据德克萨斯电力可靠性委员会的数据，去年太阳能发电仅占德州发电能力的2%，高达2.281吉瓦。根据ERCOT的数据，到2029年，德克萨斯州的太阳能装机容量将达到12.5吉瓦。那是五年前的事了。据《华尔街日报》报道，现在，监管机构预计该州的太阳能发电能力最快将于2021年超过12.5吉瓦。据ERCOT称，到2023年，该州的风力发电能力将达到38吉瓦，太阳能发电能力将达到21吉瓦。 韩婷 摘译自 石油新闻 原文如下： The Lone Star State Looks To Become A Leader In Renewables Texas is not the first state that one thinks of when someone mentions renewable energy. That would most probably be California. Yet Texas is already the biggest producer of electricity from wind farms in the country and is now on track to become the biggest U.S. producer of solar power, too. A private company, Invenergy, is building a 1.31-GW solar farm in Texas that is going to be the biggest in the United States, capable of producing enough energy to power 300,000 households when completed, which is scheduled for 2023. According to a Wall Street Journal report on the project and wider industry trends, it was only a matter of time before Texas became a leader in solar power, as well as wind power. It has the perfect conditions, and with solar costs falling, chances are more solar farms will pop up across the Lone Star State. They will add to 30.9 GW in installed wind power generation capacity distributed among 161 wind farms. Last year, this capacity provided 17.5 percent of Texas's electricity, powering the equivalent of 7,745,800 households, according to the American Wind Energy Association. During that same year, wind power generation in Texas helped avoid 49 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. Solar energy, on the other hand, accounted for just 2 percent of electricity generation capacity in Texas last year, at up to 2.281 GW, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Also according to ERCOT, Texas was going to have 12.5 GW of solar capacity installed by 2029. That was five years ago. Now, the regulator expects the state's solar generation capacity to exceed 12.5 GW as soon as 2021, according to the Wall Street Journal. By 2023, there will be 38 GW of wind capacity and 21 GW of solar capacity in the state, according to ERCOT. |
