能源新闻12月22日消息称,周四发布的数据显示,英国可再生能源发电在2019年第三季度达到28.8太瓦时,正好超过天然气发电。

英国商业、能源和产业战略部发布的《能源趋势》显示,今年7月至9月,可再生能源在发电量中所占比例达到38.9%。这个创纪录的数字也是有史以来第一次略高于天然气的份额(38.8%)。核能发电量从2018年同期的23%降至18.4%。煤炭占1.0%。

总体而言,化石燃料的发电份额在2019年第三季度下降到了40.1%,官方称这是“历史最低水平”。 相比之下,低碳电力的份额增长了57.3%,创下了可再生能源发电的最高纪录。

将可再生能源的数据细分后,2019年第三季度的生物能源发电量为8.9太瓦时。水力的发电量为1.4太瓦时,与去年同期相比增长了58%,这在很大程度上是由于“今年8月是2000年以来最潮湿的一个月”。

风力发电量达到14.1太瓦时,陆上和海上风力发电分别同比增长24%和43%。太阳能光伏发电量为4.4太瓦时,下降了2.8%。

截至第三季度末,可再生能源发电能力达到46.9吉瓦,较上年同期增长3.2吉瓦。

英国可再生能源政策和监管主管Rebecca Williams在一份声明中表示:“今年可再生能源发电份额首次超过了天然气,这是一个历史性的转折点。”

Williams补充道:“这是一个好消息,我们所有人都致力于尽快、尽可能低成本地实现净零排放。” 表示,该贸易协会“期待与新政府密切合作,加快向清洁能源的过渡。”

原文如下:Renewables’ share of electricity generation surpasses gas for first time in UKThe U.K. saw electricity generation from renewables hit 28.8 terawatt hours (TWh) in the third quarter of 2019, according to figures released Thursday, just bettering gas-generated electricity.The Department of for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s Energy Trends publication shows that renewables’ share of electricity generation hit 38.9% between July and September. This record figure was also, for the first time ever, very slightly higher than the share for gas (38.8%). Electricity powered by nuclear fell to 18.4% compared to 23% for the same period in 2018. Coal accounted for 1.0%.Overall, fossil fuels’ share of generation dropped to 40.1% in the third quarter of 2019, which authorities described as a “record low.” By contrast, low carbon electricity’s share grew to 57.3%, a record high that was boosted by generation from renewables.Breaking the figures for renewables down, bioenergy generation in the third quarter of 2019 came to 8.9 TWh. Hydro was responsible for 1.4 TWh, a 58% increase compared to a year earlier that was due in no small part to what was described as “the wettest August since 2000.”Wind generation hit 14.1 TWh, with onshore and offshore wind production growing by 24% and 43% compared to a year earlier. Solar photovoltaic production was 4.4 TWh, which represents a 2.8% decline.The end of the third quarter saw renewable electricity capacity reach 46.9 gigawatts, a 3.2 GW increase compared to a year before.“We’ve reached a historic tipping point with renewables outperforming gas for the first quarter ever,” Rebecca Williams, head of policy and regulation at RenewableUK, said in a statement.“This is great news all of us who are committed to reaching net zero emissions as fast and as cheaply as possible,” Williams added, stating that the trade association was “looking forward to working closely with the new Government to speed up the transition to clean power.”
