去年欧洲风力发电能力增长降至7年来最低水平

据普氏能源资讯网2月21日伦敦报道，据行业组织WindEurope周四发布的一份报告显示，2018年欧洲风力发电新增容量降至2011年以来的最低水平。

欧洲在2018年新增风电总容量为11.7千兆瓦(欧盟为10.1千兆瓦)。这比2017年下降了32%。

协会首席执行官Giles Dickson表示，德国陆上风力发电能力增幅下降逾一半，英国则大幅下降，而12个欧盟国家连一台风力涡轮机都没有安装。

Dickson称，尽管去年英国、西班牙和瑞典对未来产能的投资“相当不错”，但“新投资的前景仍不确定”。

“在许可方面存在结构性问题，尤其是在德国和法国。除了立陶宛和波兰的进步，中欧和东欧缺乏雄心壮志。”

“2030年的国家能源和气候计划是一个纠正错误的机会。但计划草案严重缺乏细节:包括政策措施、拍卖数量、如何放宽许可、消除风能投资的其他障碍，以及如何扩大电网等方面。”他说。

他补充道:“各国政府需要在今年最终敲定计划之前解决这个问题。”

WindEurope在周四的报告中表示，2018年，风能占欧盟总电力需求的14%，比2017年增加了2%。

报告称，风力发电所占份额的上升，部分原因是电力需求下降。

European wind power capacity additions in 2018 drop to lowest since 2011: WindEurope

Wind power capacity additions in Europe fell in 2018 to their lowest level since 2011, according to a report Thursday from industry group WindEurope.

"Europe installed 11.7 GW (10.1 GW in the EU) of gross additional wind power capacity in 2018. This is a 32% decrease compared to 2017," it said.

Growth in onshore wind capacity additions fell by over half in Germany and collapsed in the UK, while 12 EU countries did not install a single wind turbine, association CEO Giles Dickson said.

And while investments in future capacity were "quite good" last year thanks to the UK, Spain and Sweden, "the outlook for new investments is uncertain," Dickson said.

"There are structural problems in permitting, especially in Germany and France. And with the noble exception of Lithuania and despite improvements in Poland, there's a lack of ambition in Central and Eastern Europe," he said.

"The 2030 National Energy and Climate Plans are a chance to put things right. But the draft plans are badly lacking in detail: on policy measures, auction volumes, how to ease permitting and remove other barriers to wind investments, and how to expand the grid," he said.

"Governments need to sort this out before they finalize the plans this year," he added.

Wind energy provided 14% of the EU's total electricity demand in 2018, WindEurope said in Thursday's report, representing a 2% increase from 2017's share.

The increase in wind's share was in part due to lower electricity demand registered, it said.
