可再生能源的融资成本大幅下降

据阿纳多卢新闻4月21日消息称，周一，牛津大学可持续金融项目发布的一份新报告显示，随着2015年至2020年可再生能源部署成本的下降，该领域获得了更多融资。

《能源转型与融资成本变化》报告显示，与2010-2014年相比，2015年至2020年期间，可再生能源的使用有所增加，太阳能、陆上风电和海上风电融资成本分别下降了20%、15%和33%。

该报告分析了过去20年通过贷款利差衡量的能源项目融资成本的变化情况。报告发现，金融机构认为可再生能源的风险低于煤炭，而石油和天然气融资成本的变化要小得多。

报告显示，与2007-2010年相比，2017年至2020年期间，可再生能源的陆上风电贷款息差平均下降了12%，海上风电下降了24%。

2015年以来，随着地区差异，可再生能源融资成本下降的速度有所加快。

在此期间，欧洲的海上风电融资成本下降了39%，而澳大利亚、北美和欧洲的陆上风电融资成本分别下降了41%、14%和11%。

北美和欧洲的太阳能项目融资成本分别下降了32%和27%。

牛津大学可持续金融项目主任兼合著者Ben Caldecott说：“这对可再生能源的成本来说是个好消息，因为融资成本是决定总成本的关键因素。可再生能源贷款息差的下降意味着，这些项目对纳税人来说将变得更加便宜，这对能源部门迅速脱碳是一件好事。”

Cost of financing renewables shows significant fall

With the fall in the costs of renewables deployment between 2015 and 2020, more financing has been made in this sector, a new report by Oxford University Sustainable Finance Program revealed on Monday.

Renewables deployment increased with solar, onshore wind and offshore wind financing costs falling by 20%, 15% and 33% respectively in the period between 2015 and 2020 relative to 2010-2014, the report, the Energy Transition and Changing Financing Costs, showed.

The report, which analyzed how the financing costs for energy projects measured through loan spreads have changed over the past 20 years, found that financial institutions view renewables as less risky than coal while oil and gas financing costs have exhibited significantly less change.

Renewables have seen their loan spreads in the period between 2017 and 2020 fall by an average of 12% for onshore wind and 24% for offshore wind compared to 2007-2010, the report showed.

The speed of the drop in cost of financing for renewables has increased since 2015 with regional differences.

Financing costs for offshore wind in Europe reduced by 39% over this time while reductions of 41%, 14% and 11% for onshore wind were seen in Australia, North America and Europe, respectively.

Solar project financing costs dropped by 32% in North America and 27% in Europe.

"This is good news for the cost of renewables, as financing costs are a key determinant of overall costs. Falling loan spreads for renewables mean these projects will become even cheaper for ratepayers and taxpayers, which is a good thing for rapidly decarbonizing the energy sector," Co-author and Director of the Oxford Sustainable Finance Program, Ben Caldecott, was quoted as saying.
