可再生能源的融資成本大幅下降

據(jù)阿納多盧新聞4月21日消息稱，周一，牛津大學(xué)可持續(xù)金融項目發(fā)布的一份新報告顯示，隨著2015年至2020年可再生能源部署成本的下降，該領(lǐng)域獲得了更多融資。

《能源轉(zhuǎn)型與融資成本變化》報告顯示，與2010-2014年相比，2015年至2020年期間，可再生能源的使用有所增加，太陽能、陸上風(fēng)電和海上風(fēng)電融資成本分別下降了20%、15%和33%。

該報告分析了過去20年通過貸款利差衡量的能源項目融資成本的變化情況。報告發(fā)現(xiàn)，金融機構(gòu)認(rèn)為可再生能源的風(fēng)險低于煤炭，而石油和天然氣融資成本的變化要小得多。

報告顯示，與2007-2010年相比，2017年至2020年期間，可再生能源的陸上風(fēng)電貸款息差平均下降了12%，海上風(fēng)電下降了24%。

2015年以來，隨著地區(qū)差異，可再生能源融資成本下降的速度有所加快。

在此期間，歐洲的海上風(fēng)電融資成本下降了39%，而澳大利亞、北美和歐洲的陸上風(fēng)電融資成本分別下降了41%、14%和11%。

北美和歐洲的太陽能項目融資成本分別下降了32%和27%。

牛津大學(xué)可持續(xù)金融項目主任兼合著者Ben Caldecott說：“這對可再生能源的成本來說是個好消息，因為融資成本是決定總成本的關(guān)鍵因素?？稍偕茉促J款息差的下降意味著，這些項目對納稅人來說將變得更加便宜，這對能源部門迅速脫碳是一件好事。”

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.
