根據(jù)來自彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)的數(shù)據(jù)，太陽能已經(jīng)成為了全世界成本最便宜的發(fā)電方式。

根據(jù)彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)的分析，中國、印度、巴西以及其他55個(gè)新興市場經(jīng)濟(jì)國家的太陽能發(fā)電成本已經(jīng)掉到了2010年時(shí)的三分之一。這意味著太陽能已經(jīng)超過了風(fēng)能，成為目前成本最低廉的可再生能源。另外它的成本也低于煤炭和天然氣。

在本周致客戶的信中，彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)董事長邁克爾·李伯利希指出，太陽能已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了足以“削弱化石能源的時(shí)代”。

據(jù)彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)報(bào)道，2016年，太陽能電力的價(jià)格出現(xiàn)了顯著下降。去年年初，印度的一筆電力合同以每兆瓦時(shí)64美元成交。去年八月，中國的一筆電力合同更是低至每兆瓦時(shí)29.1美元——這個(gè)價(jià)格大概只有煤炭發(fā)電的一半。

彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)美國政策分析主任伊森·辛德勒指出，太陽能發(fā)電成本下降的主要原因是中國對(duì)太陽能的大范圍部署。此外，中國還對(duì)其他希望發(fā)展太陽能的國家提供了大力援助，這也是導(dǎo)致太陽能電價(jià)下降的重要原因。

辛德勒表示：“僅僅五年前，太陽能領(lǐng)域的投資還是微不足道的，但現(xiàn)在，這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的投資已經(jīng)相當(dāng)可觀了?！?/p>

根據(jù)彭博新能源財(cái)經(jīng)的估算，到2016年底，全球新安裝的太陽能光伏發(fā)電量將達(dá)到700億瓦，首次超過風(fēng)能的590億瓦。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Solar power is becoming the world's cheapest form of new electricity generation, data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) suggests.

According to Bloomberg's analysis, the cost of solar power in China, India, Brazil and 55 other emerging market economies has dropped to about one third of its price in 2010. This means solar now pips wind as the cheapest form of renewable energy—but is also outperforming coal and gas.

In a note to clients this week, BNEF chairman Michael Liebreich said that solar power had entered “the era of undercutting” fossil fuels.

Bloomberg reports that 2016 has seen remarkable falls in the price of electricity from solar sources, citing a $64 per megawatt-hour contract in India at the tart of the year, and a $29.10 per megawatt-hour deal struck in Chile in August—about 50% the price of electricity produced from coal.

Ethan Zindler, head of U.S. policy analysis at BNEF, attributed much of the downward pressure to China's massive deployment of solar, and the assistance it had provided to other countries financing their own solar projects.

“Solar investment has gone from nothing—literally nothing—like five years ago to quite a lot,” Zindler said.

When the numbers come in at the end of 2016 the generating capacity of newly installed solar photovoltaics is expected to exceed that of wind for the first time: at 70 gigawatts and 59 gigawatts respectively, according to BNEF projections.
