中国石化新闻网讯 据世界能源新闻网2019年4月19日休斯敦报道,根据欧洲贸易机构欧洲风能协会(WindEurope)公布的最新统计数据,欧洲在2018年总共投资了270亿欧元(303.4亿美元)建造新的风力发电场,此举允许欧洲为创纪录的新的风能产能提供资金。
2018年,欧洲投资103亿欧元新建海上风力发电场,总发电量4.2吉瓦(42亿瓦特)。
报告显示,欧洲去年新的海上风电项目的投资比2017年增加了37%,但仍远低于2016年创纪录的182亿欧元。2018年的产能融资也仅次于2016年,位居第二。
欧洲去年风力发电投资总额与往年相似。但是由于成本的降低,特别是在海上风能成本的下降,它将为创纪录的16.7吉瓦新风能发电能力提供资金。目前,新建1兆瓦陆上风电产能只需要140万欧元的资本支出,低于2015年的200万欧元。新建1兆瓦海上风力发电产能需要250万欧元,低于2015年的450万欧元。
在去年宣布的投资项目中,大多数未来新产能是12.5吉瓦的陆上风电。尽管占投资总额的38.5%,但海上风电仍占4.2吉瓦。
去年,欧洲22个国家共计190个风力发电场达成了最终投资决定(FID)。北欧和西欧仍然占据了大部分新投资。英国是最大的投资者,主要是在海上风能领域。瑞典位居第二。在南欧、中欧和东欧的投资仅占总额的4%,不过西班牙和波兰今年的投资将会增加。

Europe Invests $30bln in Wind in 2018
Europe invested a total of EUR27bn (USD 30.34bln) in new wind farms in 2018, allowing it finance a record amount of new wind energy capacity, according to European trade body WindEurope.
Europe invested EUR 10.3 billion in new offshore wind farms with a combined capacity of 4.2GW in 2018.
Investments in new offshore wind projects increased by 37% from 2017 but were still some way off the record EUR 18.2 billion seen in 2016, according to the report. The capacity financed in 2018 is also the second highest after 2016.
The total amount invested in wind power is similar to previous years. But thanks to cost reduction, especially in offshore wind, it will finance a record 16.7 GW of new wind capacity. 1 MW of new onshore wind capacity now requires only 1.4m capital expenditure, down from 2m in 2015. And 1 MW of new offshore wind capacity requires 2.5m, down from 4.5m in 2015.
Most of the future new capacity for which investments were announced last year was onshore wind: 12.5 GW. Offshore wind accounted for 4.2 GW, though 38.5% of the amounts invested.
In total 190 wind farms across 22 different countries in Europe reached Final Investment Decision (FID) last year. Northern and Western Europe still account for most new investments. The UK was the biggest investor, mostly in offshore wind. Sweden was second. Investments in Southern and Central and Eastern Europe were only 4% of the total, though Spain and Poland will pick up this year.
