據衛(wèi)報6月2日報道，一份關于全球可再生能源的報告顯示，新建太陽能項目產生的電力，要比目前全球大多數燃煤電廠發(fā)的電更便宜。

Building new solar power projects would generate cheaper electricity than running most of the world’s existing coal power plants, according to a global renewable energy report.

 

新數據表明，全球一半以上的燃煤電廠會被削減，因為新的大規(guī)模太陽能項目的成本下降——目前這些項目的建設成本比2010年便宜80％以上。

New figures have revealed that more than half of the world’s coal plants could be undercut by the falling cost of new large-scale solar projects, which are now more than 80% cheaper to build than in 2010.

 

國際可再生能源機構（IRENA）發(fā)現，全球現有1200吉瓦的煤炭產能的運營成本可能要比新建公用事業(yè)規(guī)模的太陽能發(fā)電廠更高。

The International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) has found that up to 1,200 gigawatts of the world’s existing coal capacity could cost more to run than the cost of new utility-scale solar plants.

 

根據IRENA的發(fā)現，如果能源公司用新的太陽能發(fā)電項目或陸上風電場僅替換其最昂貴的燃煤電廠——全球總計500吉瓦，每年就可以節(jié)省多達230億美元（180億英鎊），并比上一年減少5%的全球碳排放總量。

If energy companies replaced only their most expensive coal plants with new solar power projects or onshore wind farms, totalling 500 GW globally, they could save up to $23bn (£18bn) every year and wipe out 5% of last year’s total global carbon emissions, according to Irena.

 

隨著世界經濟從冠狀病毒危機中復蘇，全球可再生能源的繁榮還將刺激9400億美元的投資，相當于全球GDP的1％。

This global renewable energy boom would also stimulate $940bn in investment, or the equivalent of 1% of global GDP, as the world emerges from the economic fallout of the coronavirus crisis.
