The 2018 global clean energy investment over $300 billion 5 years in a row

Solar photovoltaic webex: bloomberg new energy finance, BNEF) On Wednesday released its annual data and authority of the global clean energy investment, shows a total investment of 2018 reached an impressive $333. 1 billion, although this is more than $361. 7 billion in 2017 dropped by 7%, but this is the fifth year in a row, clean energy investment more than 300 billion dollars.

in 2018, the vast majority of clean energy technology investment has increased, but the growth rate is not the same. Small technology such as biomass and waste into energy increased by 18%, to $6. 3 billion, biofuels are increased by 47%, to $3 billion, a 10% increase in the geothermal, reached $1. 8 billion, ocean investment increased by 16%, to 1. 800 million dollars. On the other hand, the small hydropower decreased by 50%, to $1. 7 billion.

wind power investment grew by 3% in 2018. Among them, the offshore wind increased 14% to $25. 7 billion, a 2% increase in the onshore wind, the total investment reached $100. 8 billion. 2018 the largest single wind power investment project is located in the north sea of 950 mw ( MW) Moray Firth East project, which is about $3. 3 billion, followed by 706 megawatts of Enel Green Power combination of onshore wind farm in South Africa, for $1. 4 billion, a third of the list is the United States, 600 - megawatt Xcel Rush Creek wind Power projects, the investment of about $1 billion.

however, the most important thing is, offshore wind power began to shift from the traditional European developed markets such as China, mainland China has 13, 2018 offshore wind farm to start building, estimated value at $11. 4 billion.

  “ Maritime activities of the balance is tilted, & throughout; BNEF wind analysis director David Hostert explains, & other; Countries like the UK and Germany started and will continue to keep the important position of the industry, but China is becoming the biggest market, and new locations such as Taiwan and the east coast of the United States is now being strong focus by developers. ”

however, the biggest blow 2018 clean energy investment from the solar industry, its overall investment fell 24% to $130. 8 billion.

this part of the reason for the reduction is due to the natural cycle of continuous development of technology, because the cost of capital to a sharp drop in mean more solar photovoltaic power generation can be installed at a low price. BNEF installed in 2018 megawatt solar photovoltaic power generation capacity cost of global benchmark fell 12%, but this is at least partly due to China's policy changes caused by solar energy photovoltaic component supply exceeds demand in the global market. Therefore, in the end, China's solar investment fell by 53% in 2018, to $40. 4 billion.

  “ For many solar manufacturers and developers in China, in 2018, of course, is a tough year, & throughout; BNEF, said Jenny Chase, director of the solar energy analysis & other; However, we estimate that the global photovoltaic capacity increased from 99 gw in 2017 to 2018, about 109 gw, because other countries use greatly enhance the competitiveness of this technology. ”

  “ Again, China's actions have played an important role in the impetus for the transformation of energy, will help decrease the cost of solar energy, the development of offshore wind power and electric car market, and promote venture capital and private equity, & throughout; BNEF chief executive Jon Moore added.

24, China could be built in the first half of 2019, 915 mw photovoltaic modules of centralized purchasing project of the public bidding result, crystal, TRW, golden concord integration, suntech, yingli, anhui it 15 companies won the bid. According to the tender announcement, project is divided into five blocks, ( 001). Monocrystalline silicon ordinary components; ( 002). Monocrystalline silicon efficient components; ( 003). Polysilicon components; ( 004). Monocrystalline silicon double glass components; ( 005). Polysilicon double glass component. Bidder

in 2018, its Chinese hebei north power in-depth implementation of SGC to promote new energy given work arrangements, pioneered the application of new energy given massive data multiple factors all temporal mapping of quantitative analytical method, multi-dimensional evaluation system, to build up the new fine promote new energy given level, new energy electricity rate has dropped six years in a row. So far, hebei north new energy grid installed capacity of 1728. The proportion of 30000 kilowatts, tracking capacity up to 56. 9%, the wind power utilization hours of 2057 hours, year-on-year increase of 83 hours. Photovoltaic (pv) hours of 1310 hours. Full of affordable to buy new energy power 284. 6. 2 billion KWH, year-on-year growth of 13. 1%; New energy power 14. 3. 2 billion KWH, lower compared to the 23. 4 5%, new energy abandoned electric rate. Year-on-year 8% 2. 1%.
