4月份美国可再生能源发电量增长100%

据能源新闻6月10日消息称，据Kallanish Energy报道，美国4月份新增的1328兆瓦发电能力全部来自风能、太阳能和水力发电。

该报告称，2020年前4个月，可再生能源发电量占新发电量的56.3%。

在2020年1月至4月新增的9082兆瓦中，可再生能源占5113兆瓦。

其中包括110台1973兆瓦的太阳能发电机组、32台总计3104兆瓦的风力发电机组、6台25兆瓦的水力发电机组和2台11兆瓦的生物质发电机组。

FERC还报告说，21台天然气装置新增产能总计3964兆瓦。

从1月到4月，煤炭、石油、核能或地热能的发电量没有增加。

可再生能源目前占全国可用装机产能的22.87%。

煤炭目前占美国能源的20.32%。风能和太阳能合计为美国提供了12.87%的电力。

预测显示，未来三年风能和太阳能的新增产能都将超过天然气。

未来三年，风力发电预计将增加26867兆瓦，太阳能发电预计将增加24083兆瓦。相比之下，根据FERC的数据，天然气将只增长20657兆瓦。

Renewables produce 100% energy growth in April

Wind, solar and, hydropower provided all of the 1,328 megawatts of new U.S. electrical generating capacity added in April, Kallanish Energy reports.

Renewables also provided 56.3% of new generating capacity in the first four months of 2020, it said.

Renewables accounted for 5,113 megawatts of the 9,082 megawatts added from January through April 2020.

That includes 110 units of solar with 1,973 megawatts, 32 new units of wind totaling 3,104 megawatts, six units of hydropower with 25 megawatts, and two units of biomass with 11 megawatts.

FERC also reported that 21 units of new natural gas capacity totaling 3,964 megawatts.

There have been no new capacity additions from January through April by coal, oil, nuclear power, or geothermal energy.

Renewable energy now accounts for 22.87% of the nation’s total available installed generating capacity.

Coal now accounts for 20.32% of U.S. energy. Wind and solar together produce 12.87% of U.S. power.

Projections show that wind and solar will both produce more new capacity in the next three years than natural gas.

Over the next three years, wind power is expected to grow by 26,867 megawatts and solar is projected to grow by 24,083 megawatts. In comparison, natural gas will grow by only 20,657 megawatts, according to FERC data.
